Lightspeed Systems

I've just received two emails marked with "===SPAM===" prepended to the subject line, both from "notspam@lightspeedsystems.com"

Initially I thought "pfft, this is spam, they're just marking it as not being spam so that eejits are duped into opening them"

...but then I switched to my other mailbox (which is 100% unconnected to the first) and I spotted another email from them with the same format.

So I opened the message and found this: (IP addresses and email address obscured by myself)

I too was getting the robertscoble@hotmail.com email with payload, but it went stright into my spam jar and the Windows Live Mail Beta refused to open it!

Has anyone had a problem with the scoble-viruse?

Chap, this is so spammy - what dya need? Someone to punch you in the face? "Hello? I am SpamSpamSpam!" 

I would never had opened that "nospam@blahblah"-email, never ever.

Try this:

Accept only emails from people you know/ emails you personally requested. Everything else is junk. (depends on your workplace[H]).

Also, emails without Verification/Authentification (PublicKey) is not trustworthy.
