My email address is sending a virus to my other email. How do I stop it. Viruscan doesn't find it when I scan.

The simplest way to stop it is to take your computer offline by breaking the Internet connection. How current are your virus definition files? If you don't have a subscription to them, sign up for it or buy a newer version of your antivirus software. One of the biggest mistakes computer owners make is not keeping their definition files current. A 6 or 12 month subscription comes with the purchase of the software. If you have a dedication connection (e.g., cable modem or DSL) the software can automatically download and install the latest definitions when they are available.

Either you have a virus that is sending things out;  or more likely -- a someone you know, who has your email address in their address book, has a virus that is sending them out using your address.

Yup, me too.  I use avast! and I know they can stop it if they find it too.  I have automatic updates so I'm not worried.  A lot of hype about this virus/trojan, but really if you haven't updated your anti-virus, you deserve to get hit by this.  LOL.  Just kidding.  \n\nUpdate your ANTI-VIRUS!!!!

AVG is free from www.grisoft.com.  That will give you a good virus scanner.  Then you need a spyware program, like Spybot Search and Destroy.  In email, you really can't stop the bulk messages.  Abandon that email address and start a new one.

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 ?

Run a virus scan on your PC. But chances are, the virus that is causing all these emails to be sent (and the rejects to come back to you) is not on your PC. \n\nWhen a mass-mailing virus infects a PC, it scans the infected PC for any email addresses stored there in address books, documents, cached web pages, etc. It then randomly pairs up the found addresses to be the TO and the FROM addresses and generates all the bogus emails. So it's very possible that the infected machine is NOT your computer but instead belongs to someone who happens to have your email address stored in their computer.\n\nRun a virus scan, make sure your definitions are up to date, use all the common-sense security precautions all the time, and ignore any more of these emails you get. Sooner or later the owner of the infected PC will figure things out, fix their computer and the phantom Undeliverable (NDR) messages will stop.

Your address may be added a lot of ways:\n\n-When you post your email address anywhere on the Internet, special software can be used to "crawl" the web pages in search of email addresses and collect them when found\n-Chain letters ("if you send this to 11 friends, Outback Steakhouse will send you a check"; or "send this to everyone you know because I want to warn you about a new virus"  OR any of those emails that get forwarded over and over again) are good sources of email addresses. Eventually they get forwarded to a spammer, either accidentally or on purpose, and it's very easy to just scroll through and collect the addresses (plus they all work)\n-Random "guesses" where a spammer will just start combining common user names with common domain names (joesmith@yahoo.com will get a lot more spam than 22joesmith187@yahoo.com)\n-certain viruses will collect email addresses from the pc's that they infect--- any email address stored in an address book, document, cached web site, etc will be sent back to the spammer\n-and most of the time for UNSOLICITED mail, clicking Unsubscribe just confirms to the spammers that your email address is active!

The most important thing is that you use a Firewall with an Anti-virus.\nlike: Zonealarm    http://www.zonealarm.com/\nthis one comes with an anti virus, but you can still use another Anti-virus softwar ( Norton, Mcafee..)\n\nthen make sure not to open e-mails from people you dont know. it might contains dangerous links.\n\nDont forget to update your firewall every now and then.\n\nhave a safe day\n\nhUS

That's not showing up in any listing as a virus.  It could just be the name of the person that sent it.  More than likely though, that's the name that the spammer chose to display on his/her emails.  Your friend probably just got spam - it's nothing to worry about as long as you didn't click on any links in the message.

At one point, you may have opened an email attachment that causes this particular virus to send messages (on your behalf) to everyone in your address book.\n\nBefore cleaning the virus, boot up in safe mode, erase the Prefetch files, disable the "Restore Point", check out the Auto RUN items in the registry [HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>Run] to find out the name of the executables that are running in memory.  They usually reside in the WINDOWS OR WINDOWS&#92;SYSTEM32 FOLDERS.

I hope someone can help you! I opened this just to see if anyone had.  I called Yahoo about some virus alerts at 877-722-3755 & the guy was very helpful. It may depend on the issue you have. I asked about a number specificallly for Yahoo Q&A & was given 800-699-2466.  This was some time back, & in my copious notes, I've written a big red "NO" beside that number, so I guess it wasn't any help.  You could try the 877 number--who knows. If someone else answers, you may be lucky.
