Anyone here familiar with, if there is a way, tracking back to someone who sent you a virus? This is a personal attack, coming from a variety of (fake) email addresses, multiple times daily. The IP is spoofed. Mostly, they're sending me Klez.

I'm relatively certain that it's coming from someone on the board, as this is the only place I've published my email address, other than to close friends and the like. None of my friends are experiencing similar problems, and the email addresses are not familiar, so I would assume this isn't a worm propagating the natural way.

If anyone can help, all I want to do is get in touch with them and let them know that the virus software at my work is picking it up every time, scrubbing it and denying delivery. Whoever is wasting their time with this might as well just knock it off; it's not getting to my inbox.

Thanks!
