I have recently started receiving spam email with the sender address that is my own email address.
I have recently had a number of virus attacks on my laptop (post for help already made in help forum) which includes virumondo. All except the virtumondo seem to have been cleared.
My question is:-
Will this spam be originating from my own machine? (Outlook express is not set up on the infected machine)
How can I stop further mails being sent? Obviously I not only want to stop receiving the mails myself, but if they are also going to other folks they will be a nuisance for them too.
Or will this just me a coincidence that the mail has begun using my own address and nothing at all to do with malware?
