I have received recent notifications of the NETSKY.C virus found on emails spoofing my email addresses. None of these emails originated from me or my computer. The emails have either a .zip or .exe attachment that launches the payload when opened.

I mention it here because it appears as if the virus is operating from a computer (or computers) that have both of these email addresses somewhere on its hard drive. Since the hotpop address is only used on this specific part of the website, it narrows the field of possibilities quite a bit. Please make sure that your antivirus/firewall software is up-to-date, and that you exercise great caution when opening unexpected or unusual email attachments.

I do not send emails with attachments from these webmaster addresses without notifying the recipients beforehand. If you receive an email from either of the addresses listed above, and it has an attachment on it, it is almost certainly not from me and is likely a virus.
