There are many virus programs / spyware programs that can do this. The good news is that they aren't neccesarily on your machine, although it's always good practice to check.

What they do, is steal the address book on a computer, pick an address in the book, and impersonate that address while trying to send emails to everyone in the address book. The idea is that someone will trust you, open an email that claims it's from you, and get infected, starting the cycle all over again.

Pop over to one of the online virus scanners, I think Grisoft has one available that's pretty decent, and scan your machine.

That just means that someone else has two things:
1. A virus
2. You in their address book

The virus obviously isn't smart enough to figure out it shouldn't be sending email to the person it's trying to emulate.

Downside is, chances are one of your friends has a nasty virus, and there's no way to figure out which one. :(

Don't you people ever sleep................:aigo:

There's like five of you up at three and four in the morning. I hope you get your virus or whatever it is fixed Supragirl, but I really hope you get caught up on your sleep. Don't need to be driving a sexy supra and wake up against a tree. Maybe the times are a different time zone or something. It makes me sleepy just thinking about being awake at two in the morning................lol
