Yesterday when I was not at home (and neither was anyone else) an email was sent in my name to someone on my address book asking about a person I've not heard of. I only know because the person it was sent to replied this morning and I looked up what had been sent. The thing is, at the time our computer was in the middle of a massive download of an on-line game that my son plays and that wasn't switched off until later as no-one was here. Has anyone experienced this or got any ideas?

Sorry to worry you Helen. It's not a virus is it?

That was my first thought but until hubby and teenage son are home ( the computer literate ones in this house) I won't know. I know we have a big anti-virus programme but sonny could have switched it off.

This happened to me last month. My computer sent e-mails to a lot of people in my address book, without my help!! My husband has cleaned it up now, but now I delete every e-mail I get, unless I'm absolutely sure it was genuinly sent.

Weirder and weirder - I just typed the surname into 'Trying to Find' and the first searcher on there has my surname and the next searcher is looking in the area where I live. I wonder if it is possible for messages to be scrambled up and sent out wrongly?

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for your opinions, Suzanne.
