Not sure how else to reach you as email is compromised. Today my wife checked her email to find a trojan email that was forward from my email address that was sent by your email...

Just giving you a heads up, running a virus scan now...not sure If I have a virus or not.

Balls!

Whats the name of the email, as I don't have anything in my sent folder?

Cheers for the heads up, although I'm not sure if it was sent from my account.

My email adress may have been spoofed, as you are not in my contacts and none of my friends have got the email.

Probably some previous forum member trying to get their petty revenge.

I think what I got is probably just from a spambot harvesting e-mails (from the 3D chat board by the looks of it). It probably did just spoof your e-mails to try to seem more credible.

BiggAdd(at)hotmail.com? Considering you are from the UK I don't think that would work.

I get spam email like that all the time, especially from 'Blizzard'...even though I disabled my account a long...

Edit: No viruses detected when I did my scan. Few things popped up on Ad-Ware, but that's normal for not running it for a few weeks.
