yes bring on the jokes but seriously...
I'm pretty sure that I have some virus on my computer that is sending out e-mail without my knowledge. Every once in a while I will receive an e-mail that is basically a notification from a mail server that an e-mail I "sent" has been returned because of the presence of a virus.
Of course I haven't actually sent any such e-mail.
Also I continually get 0.1MB sized e-mails with really lame viruses attached from made-up addresses (free screensaver please try with a *doh* .exe file). That said I did once get an e-mail telling me that a "nasty virus" called autoexec.bat had infected my system, which I thought was rather clever - A non-virus virus.
But back to the point, I think it may be the Klez (sp?) virus, though I'm not sure. If anyone knows what it is or how I can get rid of it then advice would be much appreciated. (whatever it is my on-track virus detecter won't pick it up.)
Thanks

I'm not an expert, so I could be wrong, but it could well be that your machine doesn't have a virus. It sounds like one of those self-sending virus' that collects e-mail addresses from address books, web pages in cache etc., and the address which is the "from" address can be any of those. It is possible that it's another computer, sending out the mails on your behalf, and of course when they don't work you get the returned e-mail.
In which case, there's not exactly a lot you can do. Go along to www.norton.com - there's loads of info on virus' and they give you instructions on how to remove them, and how they work - very useful.

Have you tried updating your virus scan?
