[sixties-l] "Smart" Virus Warning

I just received a strange piece of e-mail,
with the caption (no subject), and the 
sender's address was that of an old friend
whom I've known for 25 years.  It had a
file attached with the following name:

  FUCKING_WITH_DOGS.SCR

This looked kind of strange, but I attempted
(accidentally) to download it on the OU computer.
The system refused the  download, and gave me 
a virus warning.

I spoke in person to my friend about this,
and he said he didn't send it.  This is
apparently one of those "smart" viruses
which can read e-mail addresses of correspondents
and send itself without the user's knowledge.

If you get something from me with (no subject)
in the subject line, delete it.  I didn't send
it, and it will be this virus.
