What should I do if I receive virus-infected emails generated by mass-mailing viruses?


You should reject and delete such virus-infected emails and never open any attachment in such messages. You should also ensure that you have adequate virus protection measures in place on your computers, and that anti-virus software is kept up to date with the latest virus signatures and detection and repair engines. Unless it is possible to verify the apparent sender address of the virus-infected email, do not send any enquiry message to the apparent sender because in most of the cases, the sender address is spoofed and the sender whose email address it is has nothing to do with the virus-infected message. This avoids further confusion and unnecessary allegations.
