Okay, I just got this second email and need to check.
Last week I received an email with the subject of "For Kevin" and the name that showed as the sender was my sister. The body of the email said "Hey Kevin" and included a link. Stupid me clicked the link and it was just a spam of course (I have run one virus scan and am running another right now to confirm). The email address from last week was a Yahoo address that I do not know.
I received a second email today with the same basic format (showing as coming from a friend, but with a Yahoo UK email address). Since this is now the second one, I am wondering if I am infected somehow that isn't showing up on scans. The reason I am wondering about this is that it is showing as coming from people I know.
DSLExtreme (the email account this is coming through) uses GMail as the email service, but I do not keep an address book online (and the names are being populated before it arrives in my inbox).
Any ideas out there?
