Can anyone advise.
I am receiving a heap of returned emails indicating that I
may have a virus.
Some emails refer to w32/gibe or w32 sven.
Are these 2 different viruses?
How do I get rid of them.
I`m a novice to this computer scene.
thanks

More likely that someone who has your email address is
infected. You did
not open any of the attachments on the bogus Microsoft
emails did you?
Also, putting your email address as your ID sorta
defeats the purpose of being an anonymous
user. Don't allow your correct email address to be
seen in any newsgroup or forum - people
harvest email addresses from groups and use them for
sending spam and it is also part of why
you may receive the bogus Swen etc infected emails.
