I don't think the virus was the cause of the spam, but it
seems that most of the qth.net (and indeed most other
public mailing lists I know of) mailing lists have
been "harvested" for E-mail addresses in the past
month or two. After they get harvested they're
picked up by spammers and viruses and
everything. It sucks, but seems to be par for the course.
Tim.
