    I just received two emails from "webmaster" webmaster at codeproject.com. There is an attachment "Video_part.mim". I didn't download it. I don't think it was sent by CP webmaster. How does this person know my email? Any idea?

      I would say you can forward this to your @yahoo.com email address. When you attempt download, that would do a virus scan.:)

                  They claim to run Symantec Antivirus scan. Considering the million boxes they have, hopefully the system hosting your mailbox is updated with latest pattern definitions. :-D

                      It may look fun. But I would suggest not to open attachments from untrusted sources for fear of e-Epidemics or virus outbreaks.

                          Worms are more dangerous as they unnecessarily cause CPU-resource-hogging right?

                                It's obviously not sent by CP. You might have something on your computer that simply read your contacts list, and then sent you mail on behalf of them. You can type anything in the "from" email address when sending mail.
