in Spam & Bulk Mail

Arthur A :

Messages originally were going out with my name as the sender. Now some are going out and appearing in my sent folder (which is new) in this strange format:
[ No Subject] . Is this dangerous to me? can someone be phishing? What can I do about this,/ My spyware says I’m clean.

Sounds like you picked up a virus.
Immediately have your computer checked for a ‘bug’ or ‘bugs.’
Once it is clean of pests, install a firewall and an anti-virus program if you do not have one yet.
I strongly recommend a program for malware and adware also.
After you finish this, then go in and change your password, using a good strong one.
Then, you need to inform all of your contacts that the E-mails were not from you, but a virus, and that they also need to check their computers for infection.
