Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant, it's someone sending a virus to
you, not that you HAVE one.

The NDR's seem harmless, but they are usually accompanied by a email
appearing to be from Microsoft with a patch attached.. the attachment is of
course, the virus. I'm not sure what the NDR's are for, but they are
definitely due to the virus.

I'm still receiving copies of it now. I know my PC is clean, but someone
with my name in their address book has been infected. I must get about 5
copies a day ! and I am also getting the NDR's ! They are usually

Cheers

Thanks for the advice but no virus found and all machines are
running up to date anti-virus software. It's a real PITA as I do
sometimes get some genuine ones when I've got an address wrong.
Spamnet is coping with it but I still have to check them in case
it's a legitimate one.
