Hi Rahul,

You may know by now that the attachment to that email is the MYTOB.LP worm. No one is using your email account to send unsolicited emails. Please do not open and execute these attachments! If you get a 'scary' email in the future try googling a section of the text to see if its genuine or not.

I've got over 500 My_Doom emails within a week from: Received: from 210-86-121-252.jetstream.xtra.co.nz ([210.86.121.252]
I have complained to XTRA.CO.NZ had no repl. at all.
What can I do??

Set up a rule in yoru mail client to automatically delete those mails.

I have noticed this for awhile when i leave my computer I clear my toolbar when i get on the next day i will look in the history and it will say aol:olm_0039 Super buddies or aol:0lm_0057mobile phone or aol:olm_0087games and I dont know where this is coming from there is no other person in my home is someone using my computer with a mobile phone or did someone get my password please let me know TY

Joyce: I believe those are the result of some new "services" that AOL has implemented recently.

Like hundreds, possibly thousands of others, I have had my Yahoo Account stolen through a fake Yahoo login site (please don't think it cannot happen to you, it is becoming very common)
Yahoo will not help you, because the thief changes the personal details, therefore you cannot answer all the security questions. -catch 22-

I have started a Yahoo group so victims like us can get together and help each other and warn other people about this problem. I hope people will visit the web page and leave a message of support. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stolen_account/

Someone is sending out nuisance emails using my email address. I am getting swamped with return emails. I have done a trace and know the IP address where the mail is being generated. Is there any way I can have these emails from the "foreign IPP address stopped???
