This one is from *partner* and is supposedly from Riversong cards,
friend has just got it

On a slightly different note, I've been getting lots of emails with .pdf
attachments. purportedly reports of some kind, also an alleged bounce with
the details contained in a .pdf!

Naturally I've just deleted them, mostly without even downloading them.


Sensible. Set a rule to delete.tag anything with a .pdf attachment.

Generally speaking pdf's are the sensible option for sending documents
by email. They are far less dangerous than Word documents for example.
This particular virus, known as Peachy, only affects Acrobat, the
application that creates pdf files, not Acrobat Reader or any other pdf
reader.

Spammers have taken to attaching pdf's to emails in an effort to bypass
spam filters.

If you don't have the full Pro Version of Acrobat this virus is not a
threat. Yet.
