It has come to my attention that someone using ntlworld.com ISP is distributing the bugbear virus from Spybot-S&D Support <spybotsd@aol.com> and signing the email as Patrick Kolla. The email is not addressed to anyone, so most likely any recipients are being BCCed (Blind Carbon Copy).
THIS EMAIL IS NOT FROM PATRICK KOLLA OR SPYBOT S&D. DON'T OPEN IT!
Below is the content of one such email in my posession. Given this, I cannot believe this to simply be some poor fool infected with the virus. At first glance, this seems to be a malicious attack, and we'll see what ntlworld has to say about one of their customers sending this out.

Dear Spybot-S&D user,
Due to the massive amount of mails I get each day, and a huge amount of mails already piled up, I cannot guarantee an immediate reply. I will reply to any mail that needs an answer, but please allow me a few days...
and for future questions, please keep in mind that you will most likely get faster support if you use the support forum.
Thanks for your patience!
Patrick Kolla

You don not have to have Spybot to get this email, it is totally random & has nothing to do with Spybot
