Particularly, in the next few days, you may receive e-mails advising that an e-mail you have sent contained a virus or some virus-like attachment that was confiscated by a filter. There may be no reason for alarm. Since all viruses use bogus emails in the From line, the e-mail may not have been generated by yourself at all.
Hackers are now using valid, publicly available, e-mail addresses to send out viruses.
If you are certain that you do not have a virus, or do not know the people that a specific e-mail was purported to have been sent to, the e-mail and attachment likely did not come from your system.
The following is a sample of such e-mail. Do not waste your time looking for a virus on your system, if you know that you were not the originator of the e-mail in question.
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
Delivery failed for the following recipients(s):
dcom-support@corp.cirrus.com
The message you sent contained an attachment which the recipient has chosen to block.
Usually these sort of attachments are blocked to prevent malicious software from
being sent to the recipient in question.
The name(s) of the blocked file(s) follow:
your_details.pif
To send this file, please place it in a compressed archive using WinZip (http://www.winzip.com) or the archive software of your choice.
