Thanks Tuba, thought as much. I rarely look at stuff I'm not expecting anyhow, just found it unusual for it to be sent in this way. The Netsky one I was on about is also a W32. one as I have just received another. Fortunately Norton sorts them out before I can get anywhere near. How are they able to use so many different user names, and such a variety too? I've even had them sent from lookalike Post Office and Inland Revenue addresses, it certainly makes you think before binning them all.

Finally, how do they get your e-mail address? I very rarely give it out to anybody, always check the box to receive no advertising, and never display it on-line. The only people that have it are good friends so to me it looks like btinternet, my provider, are to blame!! Is there any way I can stop getting them?

Cheers
