I'm looking into it Charles, and I'm not sure whats going on. I'm getting some of the same emails. I do know that the originating IP addresses are coming from China. Almost all the email header information is spoofed to act like it came from a bunch of our members. However, there are some I received that did not come from someone on this message board.

Another possibility? A pop-up page comes up on someone's browser page... it's a dialog box that won't go away until you acknowledge it with an "ok" or some other thing it's asking of you. Unknowingly, they click on it and some malicious code (contained within) gets written to their hard drive... targeting the address book. Contained are various members here and the rounds begin. By acknowledging the dialog box, access to the hard drive is unknowingly permitted. I'm very suspicious of those dialog boxes and will NOT click onto them. I deal with them in the following order:
Click onto the Red X in the upper right of the browser.
If that doesn't work, I go to the tool bar at the bottom and right click and "Close" that window.
If that doesn't work, I do a forced/manual shut down of my computer and restart. I'll even unplug the power chord and remove the battery from my laptop to make certain the connection is broken.
