Solve : Tons of e-mail? |
|
Answer» Help!! All of a sudden I'm receiving 1000's of messages that says mail is undeliverable. It seems I have a virus or SOMETHING that is cranking out messages that are not being accepted thus the return messages. It seems I have a virus or something that is cranking out messages that are not being accepted thus the return messages. Exactly right, you have a worm just like Flame's mother. Run some anti-spyware/virus programs to find what it's name is, then Google for a removal tool. http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/ It may also be that a zombie has spoofed your email address and is sending them out with your name on them, watch your internet activity & see if your sending stuff when you shouldn't be.Actually Fed, no worms were found... It's just Spam from what I can see... [glb]Flame[/glb]Yeah right Flame, so now you're in denial eh? Notice though, kilowatt is not receiving direct email, rather he's receiving bounced email so his problem seems to be more than a sudden surge in spam. They're getting pretty tricky now, my wife & probably ½ the planet, receives email from herself that is sent from someone else.one of your mates is USE a mail bomber.......download mailwasher......or block the emails.........if you are using outlook .....use your isp webmail instaed.....remove outlook via the add/remove.......click windows setup......then click outlook express remove....or scan for bugs in safe mode.......or disable system restore then scan....Hey, thanks all.. I'm sort of slow. Let me state my problem again. I'm getting these e-mails (1000's of them). They are coming from services all over the WORLD. They all say that my message was undeliverable. All state just that but of course in different words. I have sent none of these mails. It seems someone or something is creating mails under my address and when they can't be delivered I receive the undeliverable responses. I have run spybot, spysubtract, lavasoft adaware. All these have served me well in the past but they do nothing for this. I guess I could just change my address.. couldn't I? I use outlook express. Thaks again.I see 3 possibilities. 1) Your own computer has been taken over and is serving as a zombie, sending emails without you being aware of it. 1st step, check your firewall for internet traffic when there shouldn't be any activity. 2) Another computer is sending the emails out & using you as the return address. 1st step, carefully check the email headers & see if you can find how you're being spoofed. 3) See Merlins post above, he must have some fun mates. PS, try some other antibug programs. http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/ Download, install, update & run http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspxWho or what is your E-mail Provider?!Hi there! I know I am just a newbie here but as FED stated I was receiving 100s of emails that apparently had been sent by me and were being returned as 'undelivered'. Killowatt if you want to spend some time looking at the cause: 1. to check that your computer is not sending these emails ie you have a worm, by checking your connection when on the net - if you are not sending or receiving then your status should show no activity therefore no worm 2. if someone has hijacked your email address there are 3 ways to stop it. The first and easiest is to change your email address second is to download an ANTI-SPAM programme eg G-Lock spam combat and the third is longer but more effective go to the spoofer's ISP and complain |
