I don't know if my machine is inadvertently sending out these warnings, but being on a Mac, I NEVER receive any of those myself.

I doubt it would be a MAC as people traditionally didn't write viurses for MACs - HOWEVER, not that "OSx" is written atop of the *nix variants (free BSD I beleive), it will be more susceptible to viruses wirtten for Linux et al. Though it should still be 100-1 Anything Microsoft infected -v- everything else.
And you might RECEIVE the viurs e-mails (and the virus, or more appropriately "worm" won't do anything. But unlikely to send as the "worm" can't load an smtp engine on your Mac and start to propogate itself.
So I was also a little tired when I started this thread last night, but just trying to say that everyone should check their machines. And Otto is correct that a program can retrieve out e-mail addys from this site and others, it's still more likely that someone here has an infected machine being the result.
Trayder - is there an option to turn off public viewing of the e-mail addys? On my site, I turn it off for this reason...
