Hi;
My friend told me an electronics online shopping mall. He bought some Iphones , game consoles and laptops.They could offer original stuff with very good price.More details,Please Browse the following website.
about 60 of them so far 
assume they are all my msn contacts (most of them are blocked or deleted as far as i know anyway
ran a virus check, found nothing, so ran another one in safe mode, found nothing, also ran an adaware check while in safe mode, which also found nothing
i do remember while on facebook yesterday i tried to watch a video but it cleaned i needed to update my flash player, so i tired to, but then it complained because a firefox window was open, so i shut it down.
it has me baffled at the moment
scheduled avg virus scan this morning found nothing either

If they've been sent to only your contacts, virus on your machine.
If they are random destinations, your address is being spoofed.
Mine go through phases of being spoofed, I once got 2000 undeliverables so god only knows how many they sent!!

i have updated to the new version 8 of AVG
and ran a full virus check in safe mode (took 4 bloody hours)
found nothing
also did the same on the works cctv PC (just incase) and my laptop, found nothing on any of them, people keep emailing me asking me to take them off my mailing list/telling me i have a virus/telling me i have been hacked/telling me i have been spoofed
also deleted all my hotmail/msn contacts (suprised how many i had, been collecting them since the beguing of the internet by the looks of things lol)
i kept 8 close contacts, so if the next lot get through to the 8 people, at least i know it is in fact me, also uninstalled msn live messenger (will go back to the simple windows messenger in the future)
any ideas, some other virus checker maybe?

feckery **** ****
just found this
Symantec Security Response Weblog: Brazilian MSN Worm Looks Familiar
i was looking at somebodys facebook page 2 weeks back and i could not watch a video because i did not have the latest flash player installed
started installing it, but it wanted me to close all windows, and i could not be arsed (had a few open) so i canceled it
looks like an english variant might have been passed onto me, strange that avg is not finding it if its true?
