Chances are the person who allegedly sent you the original email did not send it. I have been getting emails bounced back that I didn't even send. It is a virus, but chances are it isn't on your computer, but rather someone else's.

I have run the avg virus program and it did not find anything, I also went to try and run the housecalls virus program and my computer hangs up, some kind of error.

It appears that it could indeed be a virus, I would STRONGLY suggest that you go to www.symantec.com, and downlaod a 30 day , free version of Norton, the virus program you spoke of, isn't worth a %^&*(, it let 3 virus's by, and caused a lot of trouble for me, I now use the Norton, and have had no trouble

AVG has kept my puter clean, and catches all the email viruses that come in.

Whatever my old one was - it let 5 viruses slip by. My new one is working good so far, Avast32, and it's free.
