I believe infected mail has been to me and has infected my system. Apparently, my computer is sending out e-mails to people that I am completely unaware of. I am in the process of scanning for the virus now. Here is some proof of my claims:

Dear AT&T Broadband customer,
Thank you for writing to AT&T Broadband.
I would like to apologize for the issues that you are currently experiencing
with your e-mail. A very malicious e-mail virus called "Klez" may be to blame.
When an infected e-mail is opened by a recipient, Klez attempts to send e-mail
from the recipient's e-mail address in order to infect others. We suggest that
you run a complete virus scan of your system to locate and eliminate the Klez
virus. More information on the Klez virus, including a link to a downloadable
patch, can be found at
http://help.broadband.att.com/faq.jsp....obid=1. (http://help.broadband.att.com/faq.jsp?content_id=1638&category_id=54&lobid=1.)
If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reply to this
e-mail.
Thank you again for contacting AT&T Broadband.

Hello. I just received a returned mail message from you.
The problem is, I never sent any e-mail to be returned.
Can you please help me to find out what is going on?
This is what I saw on my screen:

The following mail can't be sent to --
brandon@summitreptiles.com--:
From: EmeraldGuy@attbi.com
To: --brandon@summitreptiles.com--
Subject: language
The attachment is the original mail
I don't know a Brandon@SummitReptiles, nor did I e-mail
him. I am at a loss. Can you help? I have been recently
attacked by a person who was implying he was going to
use my e-mail address to cause me problems. Several
people are aware of this gentleman. I have been
receiving quite a few odd e-mails within the past couple
of days. Should I shut this e-mail address down and
switch to another one? Thanks for any help.

That was a response I received from the postmaster of my ISP. I have been receiving a slew of very odd e-mails lately.
Odd thing is right before I received the returned mail, i got a mail from a guy trying to help me with the klez virus. I'll put that one up in a later post. So be careful, folks.
