I'm receiving 2 to 8 e-mails daily that, I assume, have a worm or virus attached. They are either returned as undeliverable (not sent by me) or an authentic looking message from MicroSoft regarding the latest patch. I immediately delete each one. I periodically scan for viruses (virus software is up to date) and use "SpyBot Search and Destroy" and "Ad Aware", in addition, my internet access comes through a router with a hardware firewall.
Can it be that so many folks that have my e-mail address have been infected? My primary concern is that maybe my machine is being used as a zombie.
Does anyone have a thought???

Thanks, Jim
