Virus messages in my email?
Tim-K

In the last couple days, one of my email accounts (hotmail) has been getting return notices about emails that couldn't be delivered. It says they have the Sobig.F virus in them. Only problem is, I don't know who these senders or receivers are!
Why am I getting them?
My Norton SystemWorks 2003 says my computer is in great shape, with no visible ports showing. Never had a virus EVER on this computer. So what's up here?

SoBig strips the header of the email and "fakes" a new one so some else may have the virus and the virus may be using your info in the headers...
I enclosed McAfee's Stinger. Place this file in a folder and strip off the PT1. The next post has part 2. Put that in a seperate folder and strip off the PT2. Then unzip it. The spanning will ask for the location of the second half of the file....

I wonder what those people are thinking who write viruses.
My Norton AntiVirus definitions get updated regularly. If it doesn't do it first, I do it manually. At least once or twice a week.
It won't do any good to block those email senders when I get them?
