I have been working with my computer since Monday evening trying to make sure that I do not have a virus. I run Norton Internet Security. All indicators assure me that my computer is clean, although there appears to be some nagging problems. Even following the directions of a member of this Forum, who I regard as a computer expert, indicate that my computer is clean. However, I have received three notices that email I have supposedly sent is undeliverable, even though I don't recognise the recepients address and am positive I never sent these emails. The conclusion that I/we have come to is, that someones computer IS infected and the virus has grabbed hold of my email address and is using it as the return address as it searches out other computers connected to the internet to infect.

Sorry if apparent email coming from me has caused any confusion.

As a side note, I recently adopted the practice of immediately deleting any email I receive containing attachments unless I receive an advance email allerting me that the sender will soon be sending a followup email containing an attachment. I urge everyone to adopt this practice.
