YES, Spoofing email addresses is VERY common and used to get past some
forms of blockages.  As a general Rule, since the group policy is to try
and remain on topic as much as possible it can be easier to decide to
delete if the message body seems way out in left field.

Everyone online should have at least 2 modes of protection, a decent
firewall AND an active anti-virus program. 2 of each active at the same
time is generally considered OVER-KILL! (not to mention the chance that
they might butt-heads and create more problems)

BUT using 2 different anti-viruses to scan a PC (one at a time) is
certainly a viable option. (and done more then some folks might suspect.

Recommendations can be made should anyone wish to ask privately,  that 
way we don't clutter the list with spurious or duplicate traffic.
