The reason a lot of geeks receive SPAM is the same reason I do... registration of a domain. A live email address on a domain registrar is excuse to have every cheap SPAM cannon leveled at you.
Also, folks seem a bit confused. THERE IS NO NATIONAL SPAM LEGISLATION. It never passed. Not at all. The reason a lot of spammers want to say they are in compliance with opt-out legislation is that it legitimizes their existance. Let's not forget that SPAM is STEALING. You pay for the junk mail that shows up.
According to logs, the virus attacked my machine from the 64.x.x.x starting at 9:30 am EST (US). This is the megapath dsl/dialup IP addresses. Lots of unprotected home machines. Whee.
Odd. A smiliar attack hit me once around September 4th, but only tried the cmd.exe exploits.
