I personally received today over two dozen of the Sobig virus mails, plus 
a number that said I sent them to other people. This is again a virus 
that is transmitted through attachments and uses addresses found on the 
computer to send mail to new victims (using even other addresses in the 
send line). It also seems to me that someone on the list has been 
infected and the virus is using that person's KineJapan list of addresses 
to spread. 

For more information on the virus and how to deal with it, see:

As always, don't open any attachments unless you know exactly what you 
are doing.
