Post subject: Symantec Virus Warnings (phony)
Archived from groups: alt>comp>virus (more info?)

I am regularly being spammed by a "tool" that tells me a file I sent had a
virus attached to it and the "warning" comes from ses.symantec.com. I
genuinely suspect this is bogus and were I to click on the link (I'm
replicating one of the "emails" below) then I'd probably be hijacked. I've
gone onto Symantec's site and tried to notify them of the thing, sending the
IP from which it comes. I'm using Outlook 2003 and I've set a junk mail
filter so they're automatically deleted. BUT THEY ARE ANNOYING. What's even
more annoying is Symantec's lack of a link anywhere on their websites so you
can "talk" to them. That's why I dropped Norton/Symantec years ago. I'm
protected with F-Secure, rebranded by my ISP as if it's their own. Works for
me.

Is there anything else I can do? Am I doing the right thing? It just goes on
and on and on. Been almost a year now. You'd think the buggers who get tired
when they got no response from my IP. But then maybe a computer never gets
tired...or gives up.

Replicated:
This message has been processed by Symantec's AntiVirus Technology.
message.scr was infected with the malicious virus W32.Sality.U and has been
deleted because the file cannot be cleaned.

Why don't you post the full header of the e-mail (with appropriate
munging) so we can tell you where it's coming from.

And how do I do that in Outlook 2003?
