I've recently been "attacked" by one of these address-book worms myself, and in fact have had numerous erroneous e-mails sent out to actually several hundred people who I keep in my mailing list/address book. So far, mine have all been some sort of a financial scam, offering to loan money, make investments, etc. but I've heard from several people who've had their address book "hi-jacked", and discovered that unbeknownst to them, they've gotten into the "male-enhancement" business, and/or that they were peddling various "male" products, or other similar devices!
Anyhow, I checked with my ISP, and they say the easiest way to get rid of this crap is to simply change your password for your e-mail. I've done that, as well as run a full system scan, and did a "system restore" and returned my computer to the way it was about a week ago.
Hopefully, this will eliminate the problem. Anyone on here who has received a "strange" e-mail from me, offering to make a high-interest loan, or sell any of the aforementioned "products", (or other "dubious" transactions), please ignore and just delete the e-mail.
If, (on the other hand), that you feel compelled to make a cash donation because of my tragic financial circumstances, please feel free to do so!
