All of a sudden I started getting spam mail in my hotmail address. Such as: Subject :   
Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender 

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  thelma@trend-whores.com
    This message has been rejected because it has
    a potentially executable attachment "thank_you.pif"
    This form of attachment has been used by
    recent viruses or other malware.
    If you meant to send this file then please
    package it up as a zip file and resend it.

...followed by a very long thing of encrypted info

I did not send this email, and I have about ten more in my inbox. I thought someone might have hacked into my account and been using it to send spam mail, but I don't know. I changed my password and the question and everything and I'm still gettin them.

What in the fuck is going on???  :confused:

Sobig virus, probably not your fault, the virus found and spoofed your email. If your email addy is public or in an infected comp's address book, that will happen and you will get a lot of such mail. AFAIK the virus is supposed to stop doing all that around mid-September, until then you have little choice other than to abuse your 'delete' key.

Or you may have the virus yourself, check ..

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I would recommend not to display your email as somethingorother@yourmoms.com , instead show it as somethingorother(at)yourmoms(dot)com, or use images for the @ and . , prevents useless spamming etc at least for the next few months until the spam spiders catch on, small inconvenience for the users I think.

I actually have to access the internet on a LAN server, at this cybercafe with 50 computers. I use a different one almost every time, so I don't think removing it would do much.
