I have a hotmail account I've had since 2003. This morning I found about 30-50 returned/delayed response emails in my in box.

Evidently yesterday at my work ( I work for the Gov) when I was going through my junk folder I remember opening an email, it said something about best prices on computers etc, and a link. I think I opened the link, then thought to myself, this is bogus and closed it.

Now this thing/virus has sent and forwarded so many emails I am unable to send out emails, I get a message saying I have to wait 12-24 hours due to exceeding emails sent.

I was able to send an email from my wifes email account to MSN to report this.

Below is a copy of one of the emails. Anyone have this happen lately? and what can be done? I would hate to close this email. I did go in and change my password, security question etc...


Here is the email below..
