all 4 folders were infected with
Phishing.Heuristics.emal.spoofedDomain virus's. As
almost all emails are held in mbox format I would
suggest everyone to run a scan periodically. Remember
clamAV provides NO repeat NO real time protection, even
if you copy them to a MS Windows or NSF drive or open
an infected file or execute an infected .bin file

But... that isn't a Linux virus is it? That is an email with stuff in
it that is only "triggered" when you respond to the contents... (click
on link, provide personal information in a reply etc) ie.. it is a
social engineering virus, not a Linux virus.
