I wouldnt send anyone a virus in the email. If you still have the viruses you can go to http://www.trend.com and they offer a free online virus scan, if it is a cleanable virus then it will be removed, if not then you will have to write down the location and remove it yourself.

Run your anti virus and spyware checkers to see if you are infected.. If it is web based mail the problem may be with the \nmail server and just waiting an hour may fix it

If you are using Outlook there is a setting you might have selected.\n\nGo to TOOLS;OPTIONS  Under the security tab look for "Download Images" and make sure that the box for "Block images and other external content in HTML email" is not checked.\n\nDon't worry about all these virus scares. The chance of getting one in an email via a picture is so very very slim. If you do ever get a virus, just clean it, its not a big deal.

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.

If you think it's a virus, try running an antivirus software in Safe Mode. Then you can be sure if its a virus or not. Sometimes the virus isn't really gone. Cheap or free anti-virus programs do that.

Have you scanned for viruses?

No, unless the e-mails contain viruses.

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.

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 ?

Illegal sites, yes and that doesn't guarantee you won't get viruses. Anything you download or receive as attachments in email can contain all kinds of things that can harm your computer.

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.

Yahoo Mail uses virus scanning software to scan your Yahoo email for viruses.  It's not something you can download.  Yahoo also has "Yahoo Anti-Spy" built into their Yahoo Toolbar, which will scan your system for spyware.
