First, there is nothing wrong with your PC. :) Just delete such emails, specially if you don't know who sent them.

Second, if none of the email addresses mentioned above are from anyone you know, then do not open up these "undeliverable email." I get like 20 a day in my Yahoo account. It's called SPAM. And some may contain viruses. That does not necessarily mean your computer has a virus, since this has to do with your email account, not computer (seems from your post).

No offense or anything, :) but some people who open up just about any email like that are the ones who usually spread around the annoying "iloveyou" or "mydoom" viruses you keep hearing about on the news. Remember, if you have not sent anyone an email, there is NO reason for some stupid "undeliverable email" message to be sent to you.

Third, this may be obvious, but apparently it is not, DO NOT OPEN and/or download files attached from SUSPICIOUS email, even if they say you win a gazzilion dollars or whatever. :lol:

thanks dude, i was just wondering cos it's strange that i get junk e-mail even though that address has not been used to anything other than e-mailing 1 friens:eek:

i get tonnes of junk mail on my hotmail account, i get all the viruses!!
and i get multiples but with different extension (.txt etc)
it's pretty cool, cos you can go on websites that have info on the viruses (symantec) and check what the do etc.

thanks
