Strange thing is that they are all people in my address book....Also it is taking me ages to get from one page to another....HELP...Tony England

77428 2002-09-07 19:01:00 I think you have answered your own question, if you look at the reason for the returned mail you will probably find they have been rejected due to a particular virus infection.
A virus will send emails without your knowledge and you will need to update your anti-virus software and scan all your files.
If you know the name of the virus you might be able to download a removal tool for it from Symantec Here ( securityresponse.symantec.com)
