Perndog | Another way this can happen is that many viruses distribute themselves by taking a name from the infected computer's address book and inserting it in the From field of outgoing virus messages, with another random name as the recipient. Therefore, if you have a friend with an infected computer, he could be sending virus e-mails with your address attached, and if he has any invalid addresses in his address book, they will send notices back to you instead of him. |

I explain all of this in this thread: http://www.i-mockery.net/viewtopic.php?t=5675 It's just a new ploy. Don't open them. |

Anonymous | I've been getting some of those from my Hotmail account. I think it's just another ploy to get you to examine the contents of the returned message. |

Help! Virus in my e-mail account...? So I've been getting blocks and returns for these fairly large e-mails that I never sent out. One response said that I had a virus. Any suggestions??? |
