BIG WARNING - FT email address being used for virus

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I guess this will get the widest audience.

I have just received an email with the sunbject:
"Undeliverable mail--"Entertainment Group""
which has been sent to the email address which is published in my profile here, was created solely for that purpose and which has only ever been published there.

This email contains the text:
"The following mail can't be sent to [email protected]:

From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: Entertainment Group
The attachment is the original mail
"
The two attachments are a sexually explicit (gay) JPG file, and a visual basic script (.SCR file) which I strongly recommend not running.

Has anyone else got this?
If so then I guess someone has found a way of trawling the profiles for addresses, but if not then I guess I need to talk to the very small number of FTers who have sent me mail through my profile.

It goes without saying that I have never sent an email to the address [email protected] .
