Every time I hit send recieve I get numerous emails with fictitious names and addresses. I've run all the virus software and tried everything to get rid of this and can't. This is on a network and my computor is the only one with this problem. I even tried to block all emails from a particular domain and they still get created with fake names. HELP!!!
 
Welcome in the world of spam and virusses. It doesn't mean you are infected
with a virus it means that someone has your address in a spam-database
and/or someone has your address on his/her computer and is infected with a
virus.

Blocking based on the e-mailaddress won't help much as they continiously
change the address and only use it once. You are much better off with a
spam-filter (even better is it if your mail admin set a filter on the
mailserver). Basicall the only action you can take is making sure your
address doesn't "hit the web" meaning that you don't post your address in
public places like a newsgroup or discussion website and that you don't give
out your address to companies you don't trust.
