1. Does any know why do I keep getting undeliverable
message errors to people I never sent messages to? Is it
possible someone hack into my network and is using my e-
mail without my knowing. (I know anything's possible).
But has anyone else ever run into this problem?

2. Does yone know if the e-mail messages I'm getting from
Microsoft telling me about security updates are real. I
think I read somewhere that hackers were using this ploy
to install viruses on computers.

Two problems one cause; virusses.

Virusses take addresses at rndom from whatever place they can find e-mail
addresses on the infected computer. If someone is infected and has your
address somewhere it could take your address and use it in the "From" field.
When the message will be undeliverable you'll of course get the receipt.

The patch is indeed fake. Don't expect Microsoft to send you files directly
as there is www.windowsupdate.com for that.
 
FWIW Microsoft has stated they will NEVER email a patch. something to look
out for.
