IxianMace Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I just checked my e-mail, and among the 'Spam' in the bulk mail folder, I happened to notice that one of the messages had my exact same e-mail address on it, in the 'From' field. It had an attachment called Bill.zip, making the mail total 31k. Yahoo scanned it and found the Netsky virus in the file... I emptied my Bulk mail folder without downloading the attachment or reading anything else in there right away...I have no recollection of sending any such file to anyone.I'm just wondering, how would it be possible for me to receive a virus in my e-mail, from myself? Does this mean that my computer has a virus and I should do a complete format and re-install?I have myself in my address book, if that helps (don't ask why ;)).

rigel6669 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Nothing special to worry ( * ) about, i have also received emails at yahoo that i have never send to myself containing a virus. No it does not mean that your computer has a virus( * ) Scan your harddisc for virusses regulary and update your software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Exactly... nothing to worry about. That mail didn't come from you, even though it has your mail adress on it. It's all faked. Don't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
