I'm getting Spam From Myself
Posted by Dan Moses on 17 September 2005 03:54 PM
Often when you get emails like this from yourself, it is due to spyware being installed on your pc. This is a big problem now a days, and there is no single program that can remove all of them. If you are getting lots of these, this is probably what is happening. Here is what has worked for us:

Download and run adaware from lavasoft http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5

Download and run Microsoft
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx

If you have the latest Norton Internet Security with spyware detection that is even better.

This should stop these emails.
