233719 2004-05-02 14:23:00 Im using WXP Home, IE6 & OE6. I have Norton Antivirus on autoupdate; internet connection firewall enabled; plus ticked "warn when trying to send mail as me" - which hasnt - plus have Win Patrol on guard.

Yet I appear to be spamming all over the world, judging from the number of postmaster error messages for returned mail.

I have run a complete scan and checked thru winpatrol and NAV. Nothing.

What else can I do? How can I find this $%^&#@*

Chances are someone you know if infected with a virus and it is taking your name from their address book and spoofing you as the sender, thus you get the bounced messages.
