I hope you see this because i keep getting e-mails from your address and their infected. It's that mass-mailer virus that sends out itself to everyone in the address book. Or it's somebody elses computer and it's using your address from that computer. But it has sent 3 different types of viruses so im thinking it's yours. It isn't a problem for me because it keeps being caught by my antivirus program but im not sure that you are aware that your computer may be infected. Hope it hasn't caused you too much troubles.

But the problem with these viruses is they copy ppl's address books and use them to mail itself so it necessary doesnt mean somebody is infected thats what the big problem is makes it very hard to pinpoint

Yep, usually the person listed as the sender is NOT who is actually infected. They are simply in the address book of the person infected.
