Email Error

Hi guys.

I just checked my email this morning, and there was a note on there from "System Anti-Virus Administrator " saying

"Attention: [email protected]


A virus was found in an Email message you sent.
This Email scanner intercepted it and stopped the entire message
reaching its destination.

The virus was reported to be:

Please update your virus scanner or contact your IT support
personnel as soon as possible as you may have a virus on your system.


Your message was sent with the following envelope:

I realize that this would have had to be the new virus sending emails on my behalf, but how could this have worked through webmail? I mean, how did it get control of a webaccount? Unless it's maybe on the dz.com server? I dunno, someone put my mind at ease, please.

I could be wrong, but a lot of virii that screw with email, etc, usually spoof the "from" address. So, your account probably never sent it, but the system that caught it and replied thought you were the origin.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!
