Advice please.....W32.Beagle.X@mm

Hi everyone,

Could someone please have look at this returned mail message ?

1. I didn't send the email.
2. I don't know the recipient at all.

Some background-
My Win2K OS was trashed by the CWW trojan a couple of
weeks ago. I reformatted my HDD and re-installed Win2K, grabbed
a CDROM from a friend, and installed SpywareBlaster, Spybot S & D,
AdAware, ZoneAlarm, and the evaluation version of bitdefender 8
(Standard).

According to bitdefender, my system is clean. In fact, the only
thing identifiedon my system is Alexa, which I haven't removed yet
(paranoid about messing with registry until I learn more about it).

The text below is a copy of the returned mail mssg I received. (I've
placed the asterisks to preserve anonymity)
This is the 3rd such email - the previous 2 emails had the virus
identified as W32.Beagle@xx!mm.

Any ideas / comments much appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Hi aD,

Since my system is clean (it IS and old virus - and bitdefender seems
to be held in very high regard) I feel confident that what I received
was the result of the virus spoofing my addy from elsewhere, something
I didn't know viruses could do.

Thanks very much for your reply,
John.
