Hi people,

everyday for the past week, my ISP is sending me the below email, with a different email addy on the from every time. I am running Norton 2004 (with all the 50,000 updates a week), and a firewall (zonealarm). I have run various programs, spybot (which got rid of all the spyware & adware), stinger and done a couple of so-called online virus checkers, but no infections are found on my computer. The computer is running fine, but these warnings are doing my nut in. any ideas??? It's driving me that crazy, I'm thinking about changing my email address to see if that stops it.

Thanks for any advice,

Chris

Cheers Tim,

I suppose it makes sense that it could be a virus on someone elses machine, and they have my addy in their address book, and it's firing out the worm in emails to all people in the address book.

Chris.
