I believe I have a virus, but I'm not absolutely sure. I run a website, and lately I notice I receive virus attachments coming from the email addresses of visitors on my site. Apparently, a bot is scanning the site for email addresses, and then forwarding on attachments by spoofing those addresses. Now, I have reason to believe that my own email is being spoofed to send these viruses. I thought it may have been the worm W32.Klez.H@mm because a return receipt I received from a visitor said their Norton AntiVirus had disinfected it. However, when I ran Norton's fix utility, the worm was not found. My question is as follows... does it sound as if my computer is infected and forwarding viruses on from my own computer? Or is someone managing to send virus attachments by spoofing my email? I'm not too sure what to do about this, because I can't think of any way to avoid these bots. Outlook's filtering abilities seem to be pretty nonfunctional as well.
If anyone could give me some advice in regards to preventing these virus attachments from being sent from my email address, I'd appreciate it. Thanks ahead for any responses.
