WTF Is this?
I have gotten a total of about 10 e-mails from one of my hotmail account saying that an E-mail was sent back to me or was failed to be delivered. Then I found this one today and guess what this is:
-----------
Recipient of the infected attachment: CHOW, KIN\Inbox
Subject of the message: Re: Approved
One or more attachments were deleted
Attachment document_9446.pif was Deleted for the following reasons:
Virus W32.Sobig.F@mm was found.

That was included with 5 similar to this in my mailbox this morning:

OK NOW IS THAT JUST STRANGE TO YOU OR IS IT JUST ME?
I find it very odd because it keeps saying that I sent those viruses although I know I did not or something of the like. IT keeps saying it originated from me. I even went in and changed my pword after the first 6 of them yesterday. But it seems there is soemthing wrong with my e-mail address.
Any Comments or Suggestions?
