The virus (Gibe-F) does not need Outlöök, it has its own smtp-engine and is therefore idependent of any mail agent. It will, however, read addresses from Outlook Address book, if I am not mistaken. But it will also read almost anything else on the disk to find valid email addresses. On top of that it will try ICQ and whatever to disseminate itself. Regards, STefan debian @ goessling . de PS: I opted for changing my from. The list address is in the virusses email database anyway, as soon as the PC is infected. And the list server obviously has a virus filter. So at least I avoid the virus being send to one further address (i.e. mine :-).
