Wait until you recieve several of those per day, you have succesfully upgraded your password, your account has been suspended and so, all desperately trying to look like they originated from my provider who: 1. is Dutch and never communicates in English with its customers and has changed its name more than a year ago into something else.
I think it is possible to make hard to detect virusses, but you still have to send them around in this way, and that is their achilles-heel, even if you upgrade a password for a forum or other website it will be highly unusual to recieve an e-mail about it, especially one with an attachment.
One obeservation i do have is that most of those virusses send themselves around by guessing E-mail adresses, I have only one adress that recieves virusses on a more regular basis (and those get blasted by the AV) because it consists of a commonly used name (at) oldprovidersname dot net. All the other adresses that i use are probo to difficult for them.
