People can get email addresses from several different locations on the Internet, they can even guess at email addresses. Don't open these files because you could be giving away more information just by opening them then you think. If it's an email from someone you don't know, then it's not important for you to read. Just play it safe and delete them right away. Viruses suck and you don't want to get one.

You don't need to know what the message contains it was sent by a virus. What has happened is that the message has already been cleaned by your software that is the reason your current scans will not show it. Just delete it, then go reset your AV software to delete all infected incoming messages rather than just cleaning them. That way you won't have to deal with your curiosity. The reason it is leaing the messages is that sometimes a virus will attach itself to a message someone has intentionally sent to you, this way the message gets cleaned and you get the message. It also serves to notify the sender that they have a virus on their machine.

well.... doesn't matter what the content is... it may be hacker's plan to attack you...yes it's very common method used by hackers to steal your private information or to spy on you.... though it's almost impossible since yahoo and hotmail's security are now Bullet-Proof... but that mail doesn't... have any importance it might be spamming... but better don't click that link... if you click then if it contains PHP scripts then anything may happen............ you can lose your private information.. too! i used to be hacker somedays... that was common way we used to plan our secret attack without making av's detect..... to load keyloggers in E-mail so don't click that link! that's all......

Word of advise...don't open emails from sources or people you don't recognize. Just trash it. Don't let your curiosity kill your computer. Better to be safe than sorry!
