Q: I keep getting messages from various mail servers stating that I'm spreading viruses via e-mail. However when I scan my computer using the updated avast! antivirus, nothing is found. What should I do?

A:

Many viruses falsify the sender's e-mail address, so it may seem to the mail servers involved that you were the sender of an infected message, even though you weren't. If you regulary give out your e-mail address or complete on-line forms, you are more at risk from this.
