I still think it was randomy sent, as I and most others, seems to get more than
one file, ( I got 3 differant type of file, one was Sherredsetting, one was
screensaver the other I don't remember).

Your case could easily be a random case.

It's hard for me to believe that someone will go through all that trouble to do
it intentionally because, with @mmm viruses if he wants to do it intentionally,
he will need to infect himself first.

It's that irritating.
