What is wrong?

The email? Anybody can send email with anybody's email address, so that is not CanadianDesi's fault.

If it is other, please let me know.

Garvo,

That sounds specifically like a virus made for Canadiandesi, the mail content is too specific. Someone must be very jealous?

Did you check for the header of the mail? Maybe we can run a trace.

Yes Garvo, if you still have that EMail ... pass on the header info. I can trace it back.

You have my EMail ID

Quoting BlueLobster :
"That sounds specifically like a virus made for Canadiandesi, the mail content is too specific. Someone must be very jealous?"

This virus is not specifically made for Canadiandesi nor is anyone jealous, I think. This virus had been going around actually the week before and it disguises itself to come from your mail server owner. So, say if you have an e-mail id such as the virus will seem to have come from xxxx.com/edu/ca etc...

And yup, don't open the attachment.

cheers

I'm not talking about the disguised server address, I'm talking about the content of the mail. Also it reads like pure desi English.
