Re: Is this E mail a Virus?

most definitely it's a virus. A company would never send you a PROGRAM and tell you to "simply run this program".

Yes, it's a virus. Either W32.Mimail.I@mm or W32.Mimail.J@mm. (Both these links take you to the corresponding Symantec info page for these threats).

Is there anything I can do to found out who sent it? And get them in trouble!

Whatever email account sent it, is probably infected itself and the owner doesn't even know it. And the "from:" line is probably not even the sender. You could send the email headers off to abuse@comcast.net, but I wouldn't hold my breath they will do anything.

Only thing you can do is set your email program up with the security and read options set for most secure and have a good anti-virus program.
