As always, NEVER open any attachments you receive by email, no matter who it appears to be coming from when you aren't expecting it.  I've been receiving copies of a message that pretends to be coming from me. It says the following:

Another wave of these seems to be making the rounds presently.  Again, just delete these emails.

Dear user of Charlottezweb.com,

Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content)
outgoing from your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected by
a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe,
follow the instructions.

Further details can be obtained from attached file.
