Delivery failure

[BJTAssociates]

Is this happening to anyone else?

Every time that I check my email, I receive about 80
Delivery Failure notices. All these notices are addressed
to different email addresses at my @abcdefg.com address
that do not exist.

It appears that someone is accessing my computer to send
third party emails. All of these emails are spam! But get
returned to me because they are undeliverable.

Is this a virus? If so does anyone know about it? Is there
something in Outlook Express that can stop this from
occuring.

Please help!

One answer - SWEN. Your address was harvested from an infected computer and
used to send messages. You are probably not infected, and there is nothing
you can do to stop the messages. All you can do is to filter based on common
words in the message subject, such as Inet, MS, M$, Virus, etc.

Swen virus, all e-mails sent to my actual account will be deleted w/out
