    frozen, again

    My upgrade to Win8 seems to have given me about 4 weeks of restart-free PC use.

    I had one(no,, two now) this arvo though,,
    The critical one is not the one that stopped it,, the one at the top of the list did it,,
    next-
    it may be just a coincidence that I started to receive these non-sendable emails at the same time,, and no I haven't opened the attachments, just deleted them,,
    (I may fiddle Inc,, but I dont visit bad sites,, )

    I have/am running the latest McAfee stinger,, malwarebytes found nothing,,

    I have been running essentially the same programs for the last 5 years,,

    I sometimes wonder if the person that built my D2 also built my PC,,,,

    you dont need any thing like it in windows 8 as mse is built in..

    you dont need a 3rd party antivirus package either for that matter..

    Judging by the message the emails are being sent from Russia, and have used a "forged" sender address.

    The emails might be actually sent by evilspammer@spammers.ru via a compromised computer//server, but the sender address is forged so the mail appears to come from a third party. If mail servers blindly bounce failed delivery attempts the third party will get a barrage of email reject messages. It's known as backscatter. Russian servers are chronically bad when it comes to this. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do apart from blacklisting incoming email from the .ru domain.

    cheers
