Hello,
By the time I woke up, my home PC(XP) got Blaster V 32
virus and I removed it using support from Microsft
website/Symantec. However, everyday I get at least one
mail from Hotmail web server saying that some mail I sent
has not been delivered to 'so.. and so..' because it has
virus. Some of them even refer to pornographic stuff that
I was supposed to have sent! In the first place, I never
sent any such mail. Apparently, someone got hold of my
address and has been sending all sorts of offensive stuff
to strange E-mail addresses. I am sick of this. Can
anyone suggest me a remedy(short of suicide) to resolve
this problem?
Thanks
Sriram
 
Don't worry about it. One of the more recent virus's out there, harvests
e-mail addresses from the infected computer and uses them in the From and To
lines of the e-mail. Keep your AV software up to date, and scan your
system regularly.
