Hi H,

I thought you should know that your computer is infected with the Netsky worm.

Title: Might not be howard's computer. (They sometimes forge the return address)

It might not be Howards computer.

Nowadays, the virus's will grab 2 addresses from the address book of an
infected PC.  1 target (To) and 1 source (from).  So the message will look like
its coming from 1 person, but its really from someone else who has BOTH of
your addresses in their directory.

Either way, if you're running a Microsoft OS, you need to have VIRUS
protection.
