Too late for the best advice - which is not to open unknown mail. Yes, it's going around to almost everyone with email. Delete the questionable emails, make sure you empty the trash from your email files. Go into 'programs' and clear out internet content from your drive. Empty the recycle bin.

If you're lucky, that will do it, if not you may already be screwed. Many of the current viruses are sleepers - in that they do nothing for a couple of weeks and then activate. Get some virus protection.

no see the people who made the virus are using my email addy to send this through,.. so its like the person who acutually sends it is unkown and the email says i sent it when i really didnt, it isnt an email asking for me to trail download anything it is one of those delivery falirue notices

Two words- Norton Anti-virus

 

lol

 

If and or when you open the attachment withyou are executing any viruses it contains.
Never look at any emails that you don't recognize the sender.
Never use the preview feature of your email program, that is the same as opening the email.

Never means never, even with a good anti virus program.
