I haven't got any of these alerts here Brad. I normally get these mails forwarded to me from the server and haven't got any forever.

This is the wonderful MyDoom virus (a variant of the original this is .BE or .BB) spreading itself around again. Our server has virus protection on it so you shouldn't be able to send or receive viruses (though a few could sneak through).

Pretty much this virus will send messages out from an infected machine to you spoofing a postmaster or administrator address. The hope is that you run the attachment, and thus infect yourself with the virus. The message will be sent to anyone in the infected machine's address book. So someone you know is infected.
