Yup.. I've been getting the same type of virus email in my email too..

It appears to me that it's coming from somebody who has your and our admin email addresses in their address book.

I'll run a search on our logs for that IP Address and see if I can track down the user.

The IP Address did show up in our logs and I've managed to track down the user it belongs to.

Email and Pager messages sent warning them they have a virus.

FYI. You can run a free virus scan at http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp
