aero04 0 #1 February 21, 2004 So for the last 2 days, someone has been sending tons of emails using my hotmail address. My junk folder is always full of return to sender, message undeliverable messages. What is going on? And more importantly, how do I stop this? I can't find any spyware or viruses. I did have a worm from that AIM thing going around, but I removed it and the emails are still happening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narcimund 0 #4 February 21, 2004 If it's got your return address the one thing you can be sure of is that they're not coming from your computer. And there's nothing you can do to stop it. Faking return addresses is trivial and currently unstoppable. Sorry. Welcome to the modern world. First Class Citizen Twice Over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SublimeBreeze 0 #8 February 22, 2004 Goto http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ click on the scan now link update blah blah blah, its an online scanner and I have found it works just as good as NAV infact sometimes It picks up viruses not found by NAV.

aero04 0 #10 February 22, 2004 Thanks for the help everyone. I updated NAV 2003 to 2004 and it did find 3 viruses. I haven't had any email problems since. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
