Oops. Scratch that. It isn't doing what I thought it was doing. It turns out that I have added some procmail rules on my Linux account to filter Email with program attachments.



So whenever someone with an infected computer tries to send me an Email with an attachment, I send a message back telling them that I don't accept program attachments. So no one has hijacked me. I had thought that because I started getting copies of empty messages with the email address of the person who tried to send me the virus. So I thought someone was hijacking my computer to send outbound Email. Not the case.

But I do know who has the infected computer trying to infect me though.
