It could mean that your name and email address is in the address book of someone with a virus. The virus on that person's computer is sending out copies of itself, and using random names from their address book as the return address. Your best course of action? Convince everyone you know to buy a Mac! Second best: just ignore it. This is just my guess, there could really be a virus on your computer, but I think we would have heard about it, since Mac email viruses are so rare, or your scanner would have found it. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
