Did I send that email?

Have you ever received a message from the email system about an undeliverable message that you did not send? Has anyone ever contacted you about an email they claim you sent them but you didn’t? Have you ever received a strange email that the sender claims they did not send? If so, you are a victim of a computer virus.

It is possible that your computer is infected with a virus, so you may want to have a tech look at it for you. However, in most cases your computer does not have a virus. Modern computer viruses float around the network on various computers and pick random names out of our email Global Address list to abuse. Your name may have been randomly chosen by the virus to be placed in the “From” field of a virus infected email message. This was done on someone else’s computer without their knowledge. You can’t do anything about it either. All you can do is wait patiently for one of the technical staff to hunt down the infected computer and repair the problem.
