Got this notice this morning:

-------------------------------
The following e-mail messages were found to have viruses in them:

    Sender: tntyoung at msn.com

   Subject: DO THIS!!! Cleaning Your Mouse

-------------------------------

Huh?  A message *could* be infected with an *unknown* virus?  How's that
work?

MailScanner 4.14-9
F-prot 3.12a (I know, I need to upgrade.  It's on the list.)

I suppose it's good that it's catching what it thinks may be a virus, but a
few more details would nifty.  Anybody else seen these?
