My mail program, incredimail also ( my private one, not the yahoo junk mail one) puts all "junk" emails into a separate folder, if the sender is not in my address book. My normal proceedure is to simply click it to have it bounce back to sender. Maybe you are bouncing back, without knowing it. ( I take it both are your email's)

I don't know if they will help if your machine has been highjacked or not but I run run Ad Aware and Spybot on a regular basis at work and at home. Both are freeware and work great. If you don't run them you will be amazed the first time you do and see all the crap on your machine that you didn't know was there.

Anyway, links to the download sites below.

AdAware

Spybot

i totally agree w/ shaun, i use spybot search and destroy, works like a charm, i have no experince w/ your anti-virus as i use norton, which i prefer over others. your best chance is this: if you dont know what the message could be, delete it. some spyware can also lay dorment like a time bomb and pops up when triggered. good luck to you

OH... yeah.... I forgot... I also use spybot, spyblaster, and No Adware on a regular basis, along with McAfee.

I use all the above anti-spyware as well and I never sent this email out either I use the junk folder set up in incerdimail as well

davy i get that too! i often get an e-mai from an address in germany too?
it a virus! i had it before it looks like its a bounce back and asks you to open the message attatchment then blasts you!
i have AVG antivirus because norton kept allowing it to be opened and let it through !
so i changed safest bet mate dont open it !

I use AVG and it dont let nothing through I also have Zone alert which is preety good, one thing Ive noticed since i went onto broadband I recieve hardly any Junk at all

Well, on my part, I receive some of that messages too, but I think they are traps to catch you.
Even so I use everything I can against these virus and/or malware that run on the web. Every day I receive a couple of these infected messages. As said James (Phantom_Major) I also use this main rule:
"if you don't recognise the sender, the topic or file attachements...delete it !"
I use for PC protection, antivirus: AVG; anti malware :Ad-aware, Spybot, ASquare; and a firewall Zone-Alarm, all of them for free. Besides I created a new e-mail address and I open the old one only in the page of my provider's webmail, in that case TerraMail. That old address is who usually receives the infected messages.
Up to now I have been escaping from those curses.
