Just try to block the e-mail address from where you are getting those e-mails.\n\nNote: Any One can send an email with anyones name suppose an ID of you friend if I wanna attack you I will send you an e-mail with an IDofyourfriend@yahoo.com, Attackers can also send email from their own ID but to you it will display any thing they want for example you can get attractive message subject as Free software from Microsoft and you will also see that the email is from microsoft in the sender.

Update your Antivirus and scan your hard disk drive. It will probably find the culprit. OR did you actually send five email messages in 30 seconds ?

I assume you're getting spam.  If you're using Outlook 2003 there should be a "this is spam" button that you can click that should hopefully take them out of your inbox.\n\nSadly spam is a bit of an issue, it's somewhat hard to detect and the spammers keep on spamming.  Make sure you never buy from the spammers, you don't want to support crime!

look for them in spam and then add the email addresses to your address book. that will stop them from going to the spam folder.

yes never open attatchments from emails addresses you don't recognize and be very wary of downloading exe files from sources you don't trust, such as limewire. also make sure you keep your operating system up to date using windows update. you can also use a firewall if you don't have one. zone alarm is quite good and free, much better than the sp2 firewall.

Well, unless you opened an email promising free porn and downloaded the attachment you probably don't have it.  This is how it was spread and propagated itself.  If you are still worried, download a free virus scanner (or update and run the one you have).  If you need one I recommend AVG Free, http://free.grisoft.com/\n\nCan I please assume that you didn't open said email??

YES! ITS A REAL VIRUS SPREADING PIECE OF SH*T hacker trying to invade your computer. delete and mark as spam on email server.

DO NOT USE OUTLOOK OR OUTLOOK EXPRESS for email.  Go to a web based mail, such as yahoo.  This way emails are automatically scanned and lessen the possibility of getting a virus.  NEVER open any attachment if you don't recognize the sender, and even then, be careful.  Sometimes friends forward viruses unaware.  Yahoo is free, and I always use a web based mail service.  I used mfire, or charter.net.  This has saved my computer thousands of times

It happened with a friend of mines a long time ago (well, 1.5 years ago)...All the mails subject were porn subjects, and the attachments contained viruses...\n\nThis happens, for some reason on Yahoo! Groups...why I don't know...it takes it's time then just stops...\n\nAll what you have to do is to tell your freinds and all those on the groups about the virus, and the anonymous sender that takes your place sending all these spam emails...just to make sure you are not kicked out by the Y!Group Admin, or even marked as a spammer by others...\n\nAlso, do a Hard Disk scan,  delete all cookies and installed ActiveX controls, and try also, changing your password...All these are just to make sure that your PC is not being hacked via a backdoor application, or even a KeyLogger

They get hold your email various sources, when get them don't try unsubscribe from them, just delete, if you unsubscribe the spam gets heavier as they know you are reading it and it don't stop subscriptions. If have Lavasoft Adaware SE it is a freeware, it helps block those things, I say "help" not get rid of completely.

Im guessing they may not be from yahoo groups, its prob just a virus. I wouldn't open any of the attachments unless you know who there from! I get yahoo e-mails all the time with viruses in them!!!

This has been a problem off late in groups.Ask your group members no to topen any mails that contain 3 photos ( though it may not load ) and an attachment with some unknown file extension.just drag them to spam.\n\nAlso ask all members of the group to add a dummy contact with name AA and email id AA@aaa.com because viruses usually spread sequentially through contacts.If its stopped in the beginning itself it cant spread. \n\nWe have successfully tested this in our group

Yep. I have received a lot of these similar emails. \n\nThey are all SCAMS~!! trying to get your personal information, fill up some forms..etc.. Dun believe it~! or worse, click on some attachments that installs all sorts of spywares. Beware of viruses too.. \n\nIf i were you, heck~! click on the delete button straight away~!

yahoo don't have virus. viruses are sent through weird e-mails with attachments.

Thats a outlook "feature" that extracts potientially dangerous attachement files like *.exe; *.com, *.bat, *.vbs, and so on.\n\nThere are ways to circumvent that:\n- Either you turn that option (security)\n- Or you just zip the files before you send them.\n\nGo for option 2!

go to "Mail Options"; then click "Spam Protection", then select "Immediately delete these mails upon receipt". Then "SAVE"... Hope this helps! =)

probably spam, you should delete it without opening the attachments. Also look out for phishing, the emails that look legit but ask for personal info or credit card info. If in doubt go back to the company themselves instead of answering the email.\n\nRule of thumb: if it's suspicious, don't open the email if possible, don't open the attachments and don't click on any link.
