Nothing shows up in my "sent mail" area. Over past few weeks I have received several hundred returned mails.
I usually use Mozilla and have Norton for my "protection". I have used the Norton technical support chat (for about $70 one time fee) 4 times to no change! They take control of my computer and use programs such as "hijackthis, smitfraudfix, killbox.net".
The returned mail all use variations of my address (meaning prefixes which I do not have, most are random letters)
I started to receive a ton of regular incomming mail prior, with the same theme. They all have a "hot" stock tip. It shows a multi-colored text area on top, below that box are several paragraphs of text which is all cut up as far as the subject goes.
And yes some do have attached files of which I never opened. Both Yahoo mail and somtimes Norton would detect viruses and not allow. Sorry for the long msg, hopefully this has been seen by someone!
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

One of two things for the most part.

1. A spammer is using fake NDR messages in an attempt to get past SPAM filters.

2. A virus is doing the same thing.

In either case, there's not a lot you can do. Just delete them without opening them.

The one with the hot stock tip is just one of many spam mails I used to get. It got bad when I started getting spammed from Japan. LOL Like if I could read Japanese too.

I just changed my email account. What you have to do is simply delete the old account and start a new one. You will learn what not to open and what to open. Some scams are spam in themselves. They say if you did not receive this to click to unsubscribe. Well what you just did was send the scammer a legit address which he will sell to his delite and your frustration. Now what you do if you delete the address, put the date forward 6 months on your calendar and I think in 6 months on yahoo you can get your old address again.

Get spammed in the nature of the beast on the Internet. Also if you write a lot, like me, I use incredimail.com. There you can write letters if you have pop access. What I like about it is that I get the spam and bounce them all back to the sender. That way the sender gets a email stating my account is not active or no such account exists to deliver the email.

To address the problem of sending email. You may need to do a recovery. There are two kinds. One will erase the data but save the programs and the other erases ALL programs and data (it reformats the disk drive) and sets your drive to the manufacturer's settings when it came out of the box.

I would not really save nothing as you do not know where the problem or the virus is lodging. But if you reformat, load up your antivirus programs first, then your program to get on the internet, then start downloading the windows updates. Every 10 minutes, hit start, then click TURN OFF COMPUTER and in the turn off computer window if you see a small download icon on the turn off icon, turn the computer off so windows can do a partial download of updates, do this every 10 or so minutes till you are done. Windows can not download all updates in one setting.

Being captivating isn't adequate grounds to get into the porn market. If its something you're truly interested in and also you've placed rather some idea into it, then bypass for it. some human beings view porn stars negatively, and then for sure you've were given the human beings who do watch porn and dont concepts it. yet regardless its a call which will be perfect made through you.
