I don't know if this is related to MyDoom virus or not,
but occasionaly I get mail saying it was sent by me (and
it was not) to an address that I don't recognize and it's
saying it was infected with a virus. I've checked my
computer for viruses (Norton 2004, which is up to date)
and is not picking anything up. I've also ran the "Check
My PC" from the Microsoft site and that said it is NOT
infected.
Also I'm receiving alot (about 3-4 per day) of e-mails
that Norton is picking up as infected with a virus, I've
done the "This is Spam" and added the ones with subject
lines "Hello", "Hi" etc. to the "Blocked List"

1) How can I stop this activity?
2) What am I missing / doing wrong?

Can anybody please give any advice, it would be most
appreciated!!

Thank You in advance,
Mike P.
