Weird Email

Something strange is going on. In my email today are two emails regarding "Info about St Pitersburg". One is from "Dahdoctor", and one is a mail bounce to Charles Riggs. I didn't click the link for "St Pitersburg" since I instinctively know that it's some sort of porn.
Evidently, someone has one of those mail forwarding virus thingys. I don't use Outlook Express, so I assume I don't have it. I'll run my virus program just in case. Others getting this?

I've recently been getting e-mails from Internet Mail Delivery Service with Undeliverable Mail Returned to Sender as the subject. I've automatically plonked it. Blocking dsoesn't work because the details are always different.

Anyway, each time this e-mail has appeared, my McAfee warning box has coughed up the name of a nasty and told me that it has cleaned it up.

Yes, I got it. I think it was in my Yahoo mailbox, but I'm not sure. I did not click on the link.
I *do* use OE also.

I've just got one today and I ignored it. Now that you mentioned it, I checked it again. It had an attachment which I didn't open.

Don't be so confident. Agent is not much safer than OE.

It's funny that people call these things "e-mail viruses" or "computer viruses". They should re
