I've been getting returned mail notices for mail that I did not send. I contacted my ISP and they claim that it must be a virus or adware in my computer that is doing it. I use SPYBOT and ADAWARE and Norton AV. They recommended a complete reformatting of my hard drive. I dont think so.... Anyway, where do I go from here? Any advice / solutions / sympathies, etc. etc?
There is more than one address effected, all through my ISP. I have a website and I haven't had any problems with the addresses on that server.
Here is a sample - my email address on this is jblap@wideopenwest.com -
