Hi there (:WAV)

Hope someone can help. I have both Comodo Antivirus and Firewall on my laptop. Very happy with the products and have passed on its virtues to many. Just recently though a problem has shown. I have recieved many undelivered mail messages. I contacted my isp because I hadnt sent to the addresses shown. They told me to reset my filters in the mailbox. I did this and was told that the mail would stop. It hasnt and today I recieved this one from another address I do not know :-

Mail server report.

Our firewall determined the e-mails containing worm copies are being sent from your computer.

Nowadays it happens from many computers, because this is a new virus type (Network Worms).

Using the new bug in the Windows, these viruses infect the computer unnoticeably.
After the penetrating into the computer the virus harvests all the e-mail addresses and sends the copies of itself to these e-mail
addresses

Please install updates for worm elimination and your computer restoring.

Given that both replies are using exactly the same slightly fractured English, I suspect these are a hoax or are carrying an infection themselves.

You are right Ewen, there are many cases of these and they should be ignored, deleted and\or then if you want, report it here…FTC at: spam [ at ] uce.gov.

Thanks very much.
I was beginning to wonder as I have done full scans and nothing has been found.

Why do people do such things? Obviously they have too much time on their hands and need their computers confiscating.

Once again thanks.

Probably that was Spam mails.
