Most new viruses spoof the 'sent from'(and or 'reply to') field. This means the virus pulls a name from the address book to use in the 'sent from' 'reply to' fields, not the email the virus actually came from. You and the person listed in the 'sent from/reply to' fields are in the address book of the infected computer. So you won't really know where the emails are coming from. If you are getting a lot of returned mail notices then the virus is using your email in the 'sent from/reply to' field. All you can do at this point is hope that the person who actually has the virus gets their virus protection up to date.

no no no no no...
that you are getting bounces doesnt mean you have it!
i'm getting bounces from people that arent IN my addy book.

this is just a real fast replicating, spaming kind.  most of my bounces are yahoo or aol addys, yours?  a lot of the new ones work off the messenger aplets, send to all on your buddy list, get the emails off the buddy list...  this could be from some dumb kid in idaho, added you to his buddy list when he found you by accident.

dont fret, just keep deleting them straight from the inbox.
if youve scanned and patched and scanned again, you should be all clear...
got the patch from a reputable source, right

hugs,
Nic

You know, I have received emails titled Prize money, Movie tickets, and numerous types... all have attachements.

How do we get rid of it?

Thank you for clarifying that.

I am always the easy target of chitter chatter but being accused of spreading a virus would  be a new one. lol
