Ken,
It is probably not traceable, my guess is a new wannabe joke/ad/sex site has
been either hacked or just hit with a virus and a "Bought" email list has
several of our addresses on it.
Would have been nice if they had invested in a virus scan before going on
line.

Dear Listers, just received a second attempt to send me a virus (joke.exe)
attached to a file about "Snow White". The perpetrator of this
low-watt-bulb-brained "joke" is some miscreant going under the name of
hahaha.sexyfun.net.
I checked and there is a website under www.sexyfun.net but it says "Site
under construction" and (not surprisingly) has no links or names displayed.
Any of you computer-anoraks out there can tell me how to go about tracing
this skunk? or reporting his/her activities?

Kind regards......
Ken
