VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

If a PC is infected with an email worm, the worm usually fakes his sender address when it sends copies of itself to others. The faked address is usually taken from other email addresses found in the address book, the inbox or outbox, or even websites in the web cache. Thus, the worm probably stems from an UBF member or an ex UBF member, who probably is not aware at all that his PC is infected, and probably does not do it on purpose.
