Could someone tell me if this cycle will ever end without changing my email address? I am deleting all the messages concerning the virus without opening them. Will that help at all? What happens to those of us that can't change their email addresses? Thank you, Susan Hays >>No, the virus copies your e-mail address from someones address book and spoofs it onto virus messages so that it looks like it is coming from you. That person's ISP catches it and returns it or their virus program does.
