Ok guys, a wee question,
We have 5 email accounts, I have 4 and my wife 1. My email is clear. BUT. My wife keeps getting emails informing her of "Your message could not be delivered" or "underliverable mail" all from alleged Postmasters or Mail administrators (daemon, Telus, postmaster etc), this has been going on for just over a week. Each suspect email has the original attatchments and upon further inspection the virus has been removed by Norton, that virus being W32.Sobig.F@mm. The email is formatted like it is a returned email originally sent through her account. And i know the virus can do this but I am buggered if I can find it. I have looked with both the symantec removal tool and with norton anti virus(which is fully up to date!!). In each case it says we don't have it. So do we have the virus or not, or is this an email with the virus purporting to be sent from her addy and not really, but she is getting a lot of them. rough count about 50 or 60, maybe more. AND more importantly, i have not had one in any of my email accounts. strange eh!!!
edit - Just noticed, returns from Yahoo groups now!!
Oh and is there a way to discover if we were in fact the originator of the email??
Any thoughts?
