Spam from _sring_at_uslink.net?

The virus works by "answering" unread emails on the infected computer. Mr.
Ring appears not to be keeping up with the list ;-)
 
Interestingly, if an infected computer sends an email to another infected
computer, an "endless" loop of emails starts, until one or the other
computer's email server crashes from the overload.
