What is going on? I keep getting these emails saying that my email was returned for several reasons and I check the email addy and I've never heard of it before...

What is the content of the EMAILS?

Very often spammers make it look like you sent an Email somewhere... usually with "RE:" tag with them. This is done in order for you to open the email and see if you sent anything.

Another option is that someoen has a trojan horse on your computer and got ahold of your email password.

Don't really know how to change my password...lol. I'll try.

I got an email the other day with the attachment 'Thank You' on it...I don't think that I opened it though...

Surely on Win 98 nobody would want to be in my computer...lol.

Advice? You ever deadlift before?

Blank page? Definetely spammers. Just ignore it. And change your password.
 
i got that before too. very strange. it went away though. i just deleted them. i never even open them. what was weird was it was set up like i had tried to email some blank email to someone...(no text)..and it was returned.
 
It is either spam or viruses.

You might not have ever sent anything - they can fake where it looks like it is from.

Viruses will infect one person and then grab all the addresses from the e-mails and the address books. Then it will e-mail out to those people as those various different people.

They will also generate random addresses as well.

So if this thing chooses your e-mail to put there, and then e-mails "[email protected]" and then hotmail gets it and sees that user doesn't exist, it will return a message to the "from" address (your address that was faked in there) and tell you that it couldn't get through.

This isn't always the case - but there is a lot of this going on lately with the SoBig virus going around.
 
Usually virus emails are titled that way. I hope you didn't open any attachments.
 
You have the new email worm. Between yesterday and today i've received over 750 emails. The security we have here deletes the attachment, so it's not harmful to our network, but the emails still come through. It's annoying, though, to have all these emails coming through.

You'll get those "undeliverable" messages, because the worm is sending out the spam emails to people in your name as well.
 
Darn it...

Any idea how to get rid of this thing???

go to www.symantec.com and search for "sobig" since that is likely what it is. they have a tools that you can download for free for just about every virus that will fix your system for the given virus.

again, just because you are getting these, it doesn't mean that you definitely have the virus.
 
It may not be on your PC it may be on someone elses that has you in their address book. I have had loads over the last 48 hours and am not infected but once it gets your adress it seems you are sending them

Wrongun!
