I noticed today I got a return email stating virus found in email...however I never sent the email in the first place. I know people gather email address' and send emails seemingly from you to other people which contain a virus.

I am very careful with my email address (and virus firewall controls) and only really post on a couple of RC car and fish forums.

Anybody had that happen to them this week.

Hello,

I have many times recieve emails, but because i use outlook it removes virus in attachments for you and displays a tag like "VIRUS"

Anyway, i think that to who ever is in your address book, then it send to you then will send it again, and thats how it spread,

Hopefully someone else will be able to give more information on this

HTH
