....then don't open the attachment - it's a virus.
I didn't send it, and I don't even know a lot of the addys it was sent to. It must have been someone from SR, as only Sr-peole got it.
Listen, I need to ask you something. When you got the e-mail, did it say it was from my e-mail address, or was it actually titled "Michael Allard" (that's my name).
You see, if someone hacked into my account and sent it, it will have been from Michael Allard. If it's some sort of error or similar address, then it wasn't from me.

I wasn`t going to mention this on the forums, as it seemed a little unfair on SR, but as its been brought up...
I too have had these e-mails, one from allardini, one from dan2k3. YH also tells me he got one from Sheepy too.

So its hotmails fault... that would explain a lot. At first, when I didn`t know the senders, and they didn`t know me... I began thinking the only connection was SR, but as the virus can go through contacts of contacts this seems possible.
One thing still bothers me about it though... has anyone received this from a contact not from SR? I mean, fair enough its more likely to be hotmails, but 95% of my contacts aren`t from SR and yet none of them have this problem.
I am still confused... and will just keep deleting spanish e-mails.

Strange. I got one from you, allardini and one from Sheepy.
I didn't think either of you two had my address. So it must be getting them from somewhere else :S

I've had that e-mail from tonnes of SR people
Mine was also from [email protected] but the apology one from you was from Michael Allard.
It's a virus that uses names in your contact list to look like it's being sent by someone you know.
No-one has hacked your account.
It's a virus going around hotmail that sends e-mails to your contacts in Spanish. It can also sometimes send them to your contacts contacts.
:D
