Mike,
I have received an e-mail from your hotmail account that contains a malicious trojan, I think that it was blocked by my viruscan prog though.
 
Nick.

Hi all...
 
Found a brilliant little program a few weeks ago to stop spam dead in its tracks before it even reaches your computer. Ita llows you to check the email on your server before you actually receive it, so you can decide whether to accept it or not. You can even bounce it back to the sender (hopefully making them think your email addy is redundant, and stopping any further spam from the sender).
Get it at www.mailwasher.net.  Hope this helps.
 
Have fun,
Gra

Another *very* useful link is http://www.kephyr.com/ for you to really make sure your PC's are free from nasty stuff like spyware. Try out the spyware scanner, and you might be surprised what you may find. The instructions for how to remove any malicious code from your system is pretty comprehensive.
 
Again, hope this helps...
