[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 489657, member: 11791"] <sigh> 1) the original message may have been an "intercept" by a virus or other malware, when the sender sent it to you... and the return addr was direct to malware site... or 2) the original sender has malware problems, and your address got picked up by that. Either way - its a mess. Change your email profile - do NOT include full name, or address, or phone or anything else. First name and initial, state but not city, absolutely minimal info. Anybody who knows you, doesn't need more than that. Anybody else - doesn't need to know. Do not open any emails with attachments - malware emails come from people you know (but they didn't send them). Let your friends and family know that you're not accepting attachments right now... at least, not unless they tell you ahead of time that they are sending... e.g. msg today saying "sending family pics tomorrow" and then msg tomorrow with pics attached... OK, that's what you are expecting, you can open it. [/QUOTE]
