Yes, it does seem like a virus is the most likely answer, but how
did you identify it as the Netsky worm (by the subject?). Not likely
from Dan's MAC. If it is, it would be the first virus to have a
positive effect - putting an end to the MAC folks bragging about
being immune to viruses<g>.

Dan (and everyone),
This message is one sent from the Netsky virus. It doesn't mean
that you have the virus, although you could. These viruses steal
email addresses from people's address books and fake the addresses
they are sent from. I would run a virus scan to see if you have
the virus.
Try these free ones if you don't have a virus scanner already:

Also, you should check Microsoft's Windows update website to see
if you have all the latest patches. I would suggest at least once
a week, and some versions of windows allow you to automatically
install these updates with no intervention from you.
