Well if you know for a fact the mails are coming from your pc then you should invest in an antivirus program. For free you can get Grisoft AVG free
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1

That should help find the trojan/mass mailing worm that is doing it.

It might also NOT be your pc that is doing it. Say your friend Jane has a mass mailing worm on her pc. You are in her adress book and some people you know as well. The worm want to stay on janes pc as long as possible, so it randomly picks someone in the address book on janes PC and puts their adress in the FROM filed. Now Janes PC sends out all the pornomail to everyone in her address book and everyone thinks it is coming from you. Sometimes you will get mail back from a server to tell you, you sent out a virus and it was blocked and it wasn't even your pc.

So the best you can do for now is make sure your PC is Virus, trojan and adware free. For Anti-virus and trojan rather get a copy Nortons, bitdefender or Mcaffe as the free AVG can only do so much, the commercial AVG is much better.

For spyware you have 2 choices and both will work together
Windows Defender

(You need activated XP to download and use)

Search and Destroy Spy Bot
http://www.safer-networking.org/

The next thing you can do is to make sure you are well firewalled.

You should also use automatic updating of windows as that will clsoe known/newly-discoverd security flaws in windows on a regular basis. If you use XP make sure it's a legal version, as automatic updates no longer works on non activated copies if i remember correctly.

You curiously published your digital mail handle someplace. which potential you at the instant are on the spammers digital mail checklist. Usenet was once the best digital mail handle farming source. those days you'll be posting to usenet and not even comprehend it with the popular internet based readers. Get some anti-direct mail filtering utility and that should cut back down on the quantity of direct mail you're turning out to be. Get and use a gmail or a yahoo mail account. do on no account submit your digital mail handle everywhere. Use your extra digital mail handle to register on places that require an digital mail handle. this won't cut back down on the direct mail, even yet it could help ward off extra of it. in case you're posting your digital mail handle everywhere, attempt to replace an digital mail that doesn't exist or use the gmail handle. while posting on boards or everywhere, upload some anti-direct mail tricks on your digital mail so as that the digital mail handle won't artwork with out some human modifying. struggling with direct mail is confusing. Telling them to end often does not do an element. Shadow Wolf
