Has any one else been receiving a lot of junk mail I mean a lot form different sender but with the same attachment, some zip file with a file named "File-packed_dataInfo.exe"? I have and I noticed that one of the senders is info@6for9-software.tk (the guy who made the far cry like demo in dbp), not to sound accusing but I am wondering if there is some connection.

Someone with your and his email addresses has probably been infected.

use the filtering system in your email account

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself 

Do you know that Yahoo is number one for the source of junk mail (officially, not my opinion)? The domain is on 95% of blacklists, you can't guarantee that any of your outgoing mail will reach the recipient.

The one time, this bloody university e-mail system kept bouncing back virused e-mails, claiming they were from my Yahoo! account.

Some bastard had probably picked up my e-mail address off some list somewhere, and used me as a spoofed 'From:' address.

Closed the account in the end.
