Hmm a female artist who has a few hit songs and videos played around the world.. Thats only one but like every 5 mins i get messages that say "A message containing a virus was sent from your e-mail address. It is
very likely this machine (or any other you use for e-mail) is infected!
CHECK IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WITH AN ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM!"

And it has targeted more famous people but i only decided to start a thread now.. I have scanned for viruses but it found nothing! and its not like i can hault outgoing messages... They are prob. being sent every second!

Anyone know what to do or is experiencing this problem?

never seen that before...thats odd :screwy: did you search on nortons site to see if it has any info?

its already been anounced that the new worm virus spoofs the sender so most likely the virus send itslef pretending to be you and you got back a notification that you sent the virus even though you did not
