OK folks....calm down.... The chances are that its the MyDoom virus that works by scanning infected computers for e-mail addresses (anything, not just those listed in an address book, it'll scan the temp internet files and find them, any messages in your inbox, outbox, folders etc) and use them as the "from" address when it propagates further. Example: Person A surfs to my website which lists my e-mail address (info@car15.com). Person B is infected with the MyDoom virus and unintentionally e-mails it (ie as a result of the virus infection) to Person A. Person A opens the e-mail and infects their computer. The virus scans the data on the computer of Person A and finds my e-mail address in the temp internet files. Person As now infected computer propagates the virus to the any e-mail addresses that can be found on the computer and potentially uses my e-mail address as the "from" address. Thus Person C receives a copy of the virus, and the e-mail it arrives attached to purports to have been sent from me, despite the fact that I didn't send it. Hope this explains things (I might not be exactly correct, but that's the general concept!)

Subject: Re: [KLF] FW: Kpvrzrwv EMAIL: simon@antmusic.fsnet.co.uk I can honestly say that I did not send you this email. My PC wasn't even turned on at the time that the message was sent. I've done a Norton Anti-Virus sweep of my PC and I am virus free. Also I never store email addresses in the outlook address book. This must be somebody else sending emails using my email address.
