Not to cause any panicing, but I recived an email today, purporting to be from Gmail, that appeared to be a virus type email.
It had the subject "Protected Message from Gmail.com user.", from noreplygmail.com, and came with a an attatchment of msg.zip (which of course hasn't been opened yet)
The full email (with some bits removed) is bellow:

Thank you, Secure Message System, Gmail.com _________ http://wowflash.1gb.r u – COOL flash!
And then an attatchment at the bottom. Things to note: o IP resolves to Republic of Belarus, near Russia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Belarus) (http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=213.184.242.124) o None of the virus scanners (AVG and my ISP's) have said anything o There's a strange Message-ID header: Message-ID: 495--4363.260--77722gmail.com that I don't know about.
It all looks very good, apart from the fect it wasn't sent from a google server.
Any thoughts by anyone?
