SCAN YOUR SYSTEM NOW!!!

dude, it means you've got a virus and it's trying to send itself to everyone it can

but most of the people it's sending to have either blocked your e-mail address or those addresses don't even exist

good luck!

Format.

Thats the easiest way. Then reinstall your anti virus program.

Yeah, that's happened to me too. A couple of people in my address book, and people I don't know. I apparently asked one of my friends to have sex, and she said she would. That's the only good I've got out of this. Nothing on virus scan, maybe got it on my other computer, or school, or something.

I figured it might be a trojan or something I really really really want to avoid formating. I got this PC about a month ago. I gave my old PC to my sister, and went through the formating and backing up of all my stuff. I don't want to have to do it again already.

there's no need to format

just buy Norton 2003 and Norton Firewall 2003
Kan A Zippered Zebra Act?

it will clean up your system and remove whatever it doesn't like

my PC is fairly new too, once i bought Norton my PC has never been happier (oh, Norton found 86 worms and 1 trojan on my PC, my other virus software didn't even pick it up hake: )

I love Norton Anti-Virus! seriously, everyone told me it was great, but i never really knew how great until i got it happy:

My notebook has Norton, this has McAfee Security Center. I guess its not all that secure . I'm trying to figure out how I got it. I think I put it together. My buddy is a Mac user, he came over the other day and I put his powerbook on my LAN. I grabbed some movies from him that he d/led from kazaa or limewire. Anyhow, a windows virus wouldn't touch his mac, but it could've made its way to me while we were LANed up. Shit oOo:

yeah, that sounds like where you may have gotten it from

I used to have PC-Cillin 2003. Fully updated, nearly every day in fact. But it wasn't good enough.

I don't think you'll need to format. Just install Norton from your other CD and it'll clean you up.

Whoever made that Virus should burn in hell. So, it sends out emails to everyone in your address book? It only works for outlook express?

No, its emailing people I've never heard of. You can see my address book has about 8 names in it. Its sending to seemingly random ppl.
