Hello,

I get a lot of automatic spam messages from different senders with attachments and text like the Sober.I worm creates. (for info:
http://www.viruslist.com/en/viruses/encyclopedia?virusid=66102)
For example:

"This mail was generated automatically.
More info about --PLANET-- under: http://www.planet.nl
-------
Occured_Errors:
100.237.165.118_failed_after_I_sent_the_message.
% 331: mailbox_unavailable
End
-------
The full mail is attached.
Auto_Mail.System: [planet]
*-*-* Mail_Scanner: No Virus
*-*-* ZONNET- Anti_Virus Service
*-*-* http://www.zonnet.nl"

and:

"I was surprised, too!
Who_could_suspect_something_like_that?s---yiiiii"

Properties of one of these mails:

X-Kaspersky: Checked

I checked the properties of different e-mails and I found that they all came from 1 ip adress, which is probably the computer that has the virus.

'h167086.upc-h.chello.nl' ([62.194.167.86]) (different HELO logins) and 'unknown' ([10.170.1.111]) are in every message.

Questions:
How do I find out who this is so I can tell he has a virus?
Otherwise how can I block this ip adress?
Or is there an other way to fix it?
