Outlook Express: Fake Email (Am I Being Hacked?)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


Good morning. I received an email with the following subject "557" and
the following body "5556." That was it. The other odd thing about it
was that my Outlook Express email address was listed as both the "from"
and "to," even though I never sent such an email.

Is someone trying to hack my computer? Or is this just some weird bug
and Outlook Express is just emailing itself for some reason?

Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Paul
