These virus's can come from anywhere and as many computer wizards know, changing where the e-mail comes from is as easy as making up a fake one and putting it into the sender's box.
This virus goes into you're address book and sends it to everyone on there. McAffe and Norton and so forth all catch them or give warnings.
People get a couple thousand of these sometimes
Just giving some warning
EDIT:here's a forum post i found as well

I got the exact same thing. In fact, I was about to post about it. i got over 60 emails (which went almost over my limit), and everyone said "Greetings" or "Wicked Screen Saver" and other stuff. And they were "from" people that I had sent emails to, like ND4SPDR for instance. Obviously, I never opened the attachment, which said Thank You in every one. Oh, and I got a few from Jang too.

Yeah madrusty, I got the same. The count is at 276... I delete them and they come back. The bad thing is, I just cleaned out my box 30 minutes ago. Just be careful guys. It's real easy to spot when you look at the size and it's like 100k. Just watch yourselves.

Mine finally stopped after, oh, three days of it. So I assume it will stop for others....I didn't do anything.

[trxrustler11121]

Ah, mine's been at least 2 weeks... Glad yours stopped.

Make sure you update the virus definitions for you virus programs becuase recently there have been some peticularly nasty ones going around. Also if you virus scan software has a feature such as "autoprotect" or similar that scans all incoming email messages before you can open them make sure it turned on.... It has saved me many times... ;)
