>For a while I have been getting a regular virus delivery from 80.98.93.174. The email had a bogus email address listed. I pursued the email at first and discovered that the owner of the addy was a VFP programmer in California. This suggests that a VFP user list has be compromised someplace in the world. I used www.dnsstuff.com and found that the IP is listed as being in Hungary The ISP contact information is not available. If an email gets past your anti-virus app and has 80.98.93.174 in the header, delete it.

The virus might have gotten the e-mails right here, from the Universal Thread.

Also, note that the origin of the e-mail is suspect - modern viruses tend to fake the return address.
