Got an e-mail today from the following address
since i got it my computer has been acting weird
Not nescecarily accusing this peep but please be aware people, my e-mail adress is only registered through two sites, so i think he found me on swinging heaven or another site
anti-virus, norton, ad-aware and spybot all allowed the problem through so looks like whoever is playing with my puter has discovered a new way in
just thought you might be interested, apologies to
if it is not the cause of the problem

My emails not openly available anywhere on the site and I still get virus-infested emails.
Anything that comes with an attachment that I'm not expecting gets deleted (fully deleted, not just left in the deleted items bit) straight away.

mmmm...I received a blank email this morning from an SH forum member. When I queried it with him it turned out he hadn't sent it and suspects that perhaps they have a virus at work. Thing is, him and I have never emailed each other before, so surely the virus didn't find me in his address book?

There are a lot of programs that scan websites for email addresses and when they find one they send themselves to them. They often protend to be from somebody else so what you are saying is that one of your email addresses have been picked up and used.
It isn't a big deal. It will happen to everybody eventually. Everybody must be fairly causious whenever you get an email.
Not all of the time your email has to be'found' on another website. A lot of the times these programs guess at random email addresses, usually names, businesses, numbers, anything that people use when they register a new email.
Without viewing the header or the 'back end' of the coding can you find out the true address, even then you may have to do some more tracing before you get anywhere near the true originator.
Personnally I'm not that keen on peopel warning others about what they have recieved. Especially as they may not fully understand of what has happened. It can cause false panic from the false authority syndrome. Things can get out of hand if they go with other peoples word as gospell. Before any warnings should be made they should research the problem fully with 'hopefully' a solution. Without that then it is just propagander.
In my honest opinion.

yup like i posted yesterday this seems to be a new email worm of some kind, suggestion try Thunderbird oposed to Outlook as this dosnt even allow remote images to be loaded or preview the message unles you specificly tell it to so its nice and secure, it also imports all your outlook settings/accounts so no data lost.

to try and disable it all (except windows 2000 users) goto start>run>type in "msconfig" no ""'s and goto the startup tab this will show every program that loads with your computer startup, remove programs u know u didnt install if in doubt use google to check what the progam does, also feel free to pm me for any questions you have on whats going on at startup
hope that all helps

Right on, Moleman, that is one of my pet hates too; when people post emails on that say "Beware of this thing or that thing it's a VIRUS!!!!!!", if you have anything like that you can always check here
for instance if you put "jdbgmgr" in the search area it brings up info on one of the hoaxes that gets you to delete your own files manually
