Default Warning about spam/virus

I have been getting calls and email from people since yesterday
afternoon regarding a bogus spam supposedly sent by me. If you
see an emal with "Your Order From Diversify.Com -$150.00", don't
open it. It may contain the download.trojan.

Bad call, Twitley. Someone else sent it (apparently from
NYC), not me. They used a similar domain name and bogus
email addresses with my domain name as suffix.

I'll buy what I want and already have/use NAV. Active-X,
Java, and HTML are turned off in my email program for
further protection.

It's called a 'Joe-Job' and if you need further help analyzing
the headers or tracking down the spammer(s) the folks over at
news.admin.net-abuse.email will be happy to help.
