I know that! :o) Did I say something that made it sound like I thought it could? Sorry about that. No, I'm just totally freaked over the e-mails that are bouncing back with such bizarre stuff that obviously came out of documents that are on our computer. Freaky. Tell me this, Trudi... if our e-mail software is not open, but we are connected to the internet to download the updated virus software, can this sneaky thing be continuing it's work at sending things out? The reason that I ask is that we aren't seeing ANY e-mails going out according to our 'out basket', so these don't appear to be originating here, and yet we are getting them back when they bounce for some reason.
We were having problems getting McAfee updated on that pc and we were continuing to get those e-mails bouncing to us even though e-mail wasn't open. I know this all sounds very confusing. To me, too. I have a migraine, so imagine! Keith was quickly turning into a quivering mass as he watched this happening, so I had to banish him to the fireplace and away from the computer.
And no, I didn't receive anything, but
