ditto here, stardock, yahoo, email, lots of diff ones.

I had it too, I did it and sended him my paypall addres, too bad I can just get 750$ off it per month

no ones computer has to be infected....

with anything...

if they have listed their email address which is viewable on any site...

a web spyder(spider) can truffle it out and add it to a growing list of email addresses used to bounce email spam.

again

No one has to have an infected computer, though using PGP would be something most should consider...
public key makes it so you can tell if the message s really fro you or the person who gets it can tell if it is from you if they are in your mailing contacts...

It is not me

I have protection.

ISP: BT - Spam protection at there end.
Mailwasher: for checking email (Always run before Outlook Express).
AVG: Anti Virus - For computer and email.
Outlook Firewall: For blocking internet attacks on computer.
Spyware Guard: For blocking spyware.

Spybot: For checking spyware on computer (Run once a week).
Adaware: For checking spyware on computer (Run once a week).
SpywareBlaster: For checking spyware on computer (Run once a week).

If any virus or spyware comes from my computer, I'd be very, very surprised.

Stumpy you're so funny. I'm gonna check out that mailwasher, it sounds really good.

It's not me neither, but i'm receiving emails from "me" with viruses also ...

It's all annoying but nothing worse than getting an Email from myself that I didn't send!

Stumpy, I've got mailwasher too and I've liked it. Lately I've found that when I use it to check mail, I get netsky detected & d by McAfee in my temp folder. When I use the on-line version of my mailchecker to the junk, this doesn't happen. Am I the only one blessed that way? I don't see how Mailwasher can be the culprit as it doesn't open anything but there it is.
