    Another virus thread

    But a differnet one this time!

    I don't think I have a virus, I think its some kind of spoof email that I am getting, but I keep getting postmaster "delivery failures" for emails that I have never sent, and they say "click here to view a log" which obviously I am not going to click on.

    Sometimes I get them from sites, and it says "a recent scan of an outgoing mail from you to <address> was found to contain the following virus: blah blah. And there is no attachments.

    I have all the latest updates for windows and norton, and no virii are being detected on scans....so what's the crack??

    junk.

    basically - along the line somewhere, someone will av sent an email with sum sorta virus attached - spoofed your address as the "source" so u get any replies to it...

    tis annoying, but harmless
