Hey Joe!

Since Monday, I've been receiving emails from 'postmaster' and 'mailer deamon' telling me they were unable to deliver.

Today, I received one from mailer deamon, within the context, I seen a subject line for the original email; Thank You! It was mailed to an email address I don't recognize. I didn't send the original email. I suppose these are a throw-back from the virus going around.

One of the emails from postmaster indicated my computer was infected.

My Norton Anti Virus program is set to automatically update each time I sign online. I ran a virus scan on my computer and turned up nothing.

Who knew!

Cher.
