I got a virus myself 3 weeks ago from a ham call sign, and I know of at least
one other ham who got one from my email shortly after, N2NEP. I assume that
when the virus is downloading, it uploads one's email address id and sends it
out to a list captured from either towertalk or other related eham or
contesting.com list. Norton caught the virus but could not isolate it. I had
to take the machine to a repair center and have it purged out. If you get
any file from a ham call with an attached file, I suggest to dump it-
