Greetings,

Actually to elaborate on what Mitch also says in this thread, these are probably the result
of the virus *BUT* it doesn't mean that you have a virus yourself, almost all the e-mail
viruses and worms going around forge their "from" field, thereby masking who the real person
infected is. As such, you do not need to worry that others are using your Hotmail account or
that you have a virus (which is unlikely, because none of the viruses can send e-mail through
Hotmail, assuming you're just using the website), simply delete these e-mails when they
arrive.
