Anyone else get this?

Yeah I get one a day... usually has viruses in it so be careful.
It's obviously some automated virus thingy using mail relays trying to send and spread viruses. Perhaps Sentech's mail server is not fully patched.

Yea this is one of the standard virus postings. I usually get a few a week. DO NOT OPEN IT OR YOU WILL HAVE VIRUS ON YOUR SYSTEM. I forget exactly which one. It is a 3rd party virus poster that is using your Sentech mail address to relay his posting. A competent ISP has methods to prevent this from happening. So expect it to happen from Sen(non)tech.

yea. AVG is the bomb. Its free and so far has trapped all these viruses.

The thing is i do not have a sentech mail address.... but they do have a record of my personal mail address
So much for privacy policies hey?

Yes, i am aware that the virus also contains a virus.
Luckily AVG blocks them, and outlook also blocks those unsafe attachments
