Since Tuesday, I've received probably close to 100 copies of the sobig.f virus. I've inspected the email headers of a bunch of the copies (in Outlook, right-click and choose Options), and it appears that all of the ones I received have come from two sources. One of them has apparently been cleaned up, since I haven't received anything from that one since Tuesday.

The other one, from which I've recieved viruses as recently as this morning, appears to have a number of Fox community members in the address book, including people I've never encountered anywhere but the UT (thus my posting the message here), as the From line. The header includes the following:

Received: from WSLEXSECO04 (64-112-130-198.user.uswo.net [64.112.130.198])
