Most email viruses get their addresses from the infected machines. All it means
if you get sent a virus, or notified that you sent one is that someone who has
your address also has a virus.
I get them all the time, anymore I don't even worry about it. I just keep good
defenses on my computer. The other day I got a message saying I sent a virus to
somedip@never.heard.of.it.com. All that told me was someone with a virus had my
email address and somedip@never.heard.of.it.com in their address book.
Now if you posted you email address here it DID get harvested and you WILL get
spam and viruses from infected spammers. The only advice I have don't post your
email address to these groups. You WILL get crap sent to you! Some people post
throw away hotmail accounts or try and hide their email. dean @ Don'tSpamMe
hotmail dot com. Might work. I gave up posting my email addresses to these
groups.
Because I never want to be the sender of a virus I quit using Outlook. I know
there are ways to protect it, but the scum virus writers are always looking for
new ways to use Outlook to ------ their filth.
Sorry about your virus, but like the common cold they are a fact of life.
