[MacDV] Re: Bizarre Final Cut Pro Problem & Internet Virus

[Gerhard Kuhn]

99.9% sure that the source is a PC user.  I have received e-mails from 
people telling me I sent infected files, upon investigating these 
claims it was found they were never e-mails I sent.  Like I said before 
there are several PC viruses that are spoofing the return address using 
an address found in the infected PCs address book.  This is what they 
call social engineering, attempting to make people trust the source so 
that the likelihood of the attachment being opened is increased there 
by perpetuating the virus.

Don't worry it is a PC user
