Been reading through a few of the postings here regarding emails with viruses.
Over past few weeks, I have received 2 emails from "Administrators" from certain companies saying emails that I have sent to them with attachments have been returned as they are infected with viruses!!
To say i'm bemused is un understatment as I don't recall sending these messages!
Some details in case it helps:
Win 98, AOLv8, using Hotmail account.
1st is from Air Seychelles - The following was cut and pasted from what the admin said my email had sent to them. A file private_01_entre.txt was the attachment.

I was surprised, too! :-(
Who could suspect something like that?
*** Anti-Virus: No Virus!
*** BLAIRCONSULAR.CO Anti Virus
***
http://www.blairconsular.co.uk
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this case Hotmail has permanently blocked the file as it is malicious. Once again the admin think I have sent the file to them and this is undeliverable due to the infection.
Hope someone can help!
Thanks
btw..I havent checked what the blairconsular site is, as I was worried in case it was a malicious one. I havent heard of their antivirus before!
