Reply #4: This means that someone who has your address got infected [View All]

[question everything]

and the virus is using the emails in that person addressbook, thus it seems as if it is coming from you.

As others have said, I look at the subject lines of my bulk folder and then delete it completely. But today I got two emails from administration @yahoo.com so I put that address in my blocked one. Some months back I kept getting messages from microsoft to update a software, or something with an .exe file which my Mac cannot use even if I wanted. MS said it was not them so to end it I put it, too, in the blocked addresses.

I don't know what someone is hoping to accomplish, as opposed to spam trying to sell you something. And some weeks ago I read about someone in NY who actually welcomes the spam and buys stuff.... ugh..
