[Dialogue] Virus reported under my name

[george]

Can't help with Stanfield's address, I think it's changed since he went 
to Australia.  As far as receiving emails reporting a virus you never 
sent, don't worry about it.  Probably someone's email address list with 
your name on it was infected by a virus and mailed out email with your 
address on it.  Spammers also steal email addresses to disguise their 
sending stuff out.  I went through this about a year ago when one of 
the church agencies got a hacker attack and for months after that I and 
everyone on their address list got emails from servers all over the 
world saying we had sent a virus infected email and I went back and 
forth with Earthlink trying to get it stopped.  They tracked some of it 
down.  It stopped after about 6 months.

All the best
