Relax, Walt.  Anyone with more than half a brain can easily see that
someone tried to spoof your email address and send everyone a virus.
I didn't need my virus scanner to see it had a virus... It was
obvious.  I just deleted it.  I've come to expect crap like that from
time to time.  I wouldn't worry about those who might think you
intentionally sent everyone in the group a virus using your real name
and email address--after all, they'd have less than half a brain.
