Frankly, I'm not sure. And the truth is that these virii change so often
that by the time information is posted about them, it's outdated. The best
we can do is just guard against them.

I am a little confused. I have seen many posts that tell me all this
German email spam carries the infection and I have seen some articles that
have said it does not. I had understood from one article that a previous
worm of Sober last year carried the work in all its junk mail but this one
since the start of May did not. Which is true? I do note that I keep my
anti-virus up to date and scan often and I do not get reports of
infection. I also try to weed out the spam through web mailbefore I open
my computer up to mail through download.
