i keep getting e-mails that look and appear that they have
come from people either in my phone book or in some cases
from people that have ligitimately e-mailed me or that I
have e-mailed.
In fact the e-mail has come from somewhere else even
though the sender appears to be ligitimate.
Most of these e-mails are dated 3 or four weeks old and
show that they have been read in my inbox.
I've asked a few people if they have forwarded the mail to
me but they havn't.
Most e-mails are selling Viagra or some other product.
??? any clue ???
Thanks in advance
 
You're being spammed. First thing is to NOT reply to any of these foreign
emails. A common cause for this is using your real email address in public
forums (like this one). Only sure way to rid yourself of this pest is to
change your email address. Run regular virus checks, keep your firewall on
(ZoneAlarm is a good one), run a spyware program such as AdAware or Spybot -
Search & Destroy and try a program called Mailwasher. All these programs are
free to download. Good luck
