I noticed today that i keep getting about 12 e-mails every hour from a mail
delivery system saying that my e-mail is un deliverable. I didnt send any
e-mails. They all have some random bank or university in the "to" field. and
all seem to be heading to a tech support. how the hell do i stop these
things. I also noticed my comp is all freakin buggy now. I scanned with
norton and nothing turned up. All my restore points are gone...I dont know
where they went. and my monitor keeps on freaking breaking up. All this has
happened today.... Anyone have any ideas?

-Thanks
 
W00T Your comp sounds like it's dying!

Umm... Well... yes.

I have really no idea what could cause this, I don't spyware has gotten that
bad(!) But still, go get Spybot:Search & Destroy from download.com

alternativly I have heard of a prog that nukes anything that looks like
spyware thus making it the best anti-spyware on the market I presume...
Don't know where to get it though.

Hope I helped a little?

This is the W32.SoBig virus (worm). Just delete them. Whatever
you do, don't open the attachment that comes with each one.
Supposedly this particular worm will stop in mid-September.
Small favors....
 
The emails likely contain a virus. You may be infected and
sending emails you don't know about or somebody's computer
is infected and using your email address to spoof sending
viruses. Some may be returned if the addresses are not
valid.
To stop the email, disconnect from the Internet. Seriously,
you should run a good firewall, such as Zone Alarm, to hide
your computer from hackers and worms such as msblaster.
Then you must update your anti-virus continuously ( check
every other day at least for dates) and scan all your email
before/during downloads. Scan webpages and all downloaded
files.
Check with Windows Update often and install the critical
updates.
Set you email to filter known "bad subject lines" even
though these will change.
You are on cable and a prime target for viruses and hackers.
Check with your ISP for security issues and also on
