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???

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 .. http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sobig.f@mm.html (I am not a Symantec whore, just that they were the first to come to my mind)

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.
