Hmmm...
Looks like I'm not the only person to have some strange things happening lately. Today I receieved an email, ostensibly from this address: myhuh@ku.kinu.or.kr . The email contained a virus which my anti-virus software removed. I was fascinated to receive an email with a virus from a .kr address, so I googled it up, and found a person with this address on this page, which appears to be that of a think-tank organization. I emailed the individual back (the first time I've EVER done that with a virus-laden email), asking him if he really meant to send me a virus, or if he was merely trying to contact me. Unfortunately, I got the email returned with the message "no such domain," so I tried again. Ditto. Does anybody know anything about this man or this organization or this email address? I wonder how this person, if it was he, obtained my email address, and what whoever it was who emailed me wanted.

vMany viruses work by harvesting email address from Microsoft Outlook/Outlook Express contact books. Then the virus propagates itself to people in the contact book, and masks itself by appearing to come from a random selection of those contacts. In short, the virus came from somebody who has both you and that contact in their Microsoft Contact book.
But who could that be? I'm soo curious! Thanks for your comments, Max!
