I receive about one of these each day. They appear to be as a result of one’s e-mail address book being hacked and copied for distribution. The thief then sends an e-mail to each recipient with a virus and/or an irrelevant link—just to confirm the stolen e-mail addresses are valid. Then the addresses are packaged and sold by the thousands/millions to who-knows-who? There do not seem to be any traces or virus’ left on the donor’s computer as commercial and sophisticated scans show no malware or virus. I was advised that one might protect one’s address book from hacking/pirating/copying by entering a dummy name and address. Somehow supposed to block the hacking/copying program. Unconfirmed but I have no indication that my address book has been hacked. May be like putting clothespins on a fuel line. Can’t hurt—might help.
