Am I sending out viruses?

[Pantsalive]

I received this email yesterday:

Is my email address somehow being used to send out dodgy emails?

I have scanned my computer and nothing has shown up but I wonder if there could be something on my phone or ipad. How do these things work?

(I've removed my real email address here, obvs.)

Help?

Bump.
Help?

I have a medical degree-I was expecting this to be about flu! My area of expertise doesn't really extend to IT.

My dh's email got hacked last year and the emails it sent out sound very similar to what yours is doing. Could you contact your email provider and ask for help? It was the email account not our Pc that was the issue.

If you have [email protected] in your address book or you have sent emails to that address in the past it is possible your computer is infected. If that email address is unfamiliar it is possible someone has hacked your email account. It is also possible that someone has simply spoofed your email address, i.e. sent an email claiming to be from you that is actually from a completely different source.

Unless your iPad has been jailbroken that is unlikely to be the source (and if you don't know what jailbroken means you definitely don't need to worry - you would know if you had jailbroken your iPad).

You don't say what type of phone you've got. It is unlikely to be the source but not impossible. There is some decent free antivirus software available for most mobile phones. You might want to try installing some and scanning your phone.

Sorry, I forgot to come back to the thread.
I don't have this email address in my contacts. I've had no contact with it previously.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy. It's definitely got some glitches. I will look into getting some antivirus stuff for it.
I spoke to our IT person at work and he thought my email address may have been spoofed but it seems surprising that I haven't received any other alerts.

Sorry, I forgot to thank you all for your thoughts.
And no, I have no idea what a jailbroken ipad is so I'm pretty sure it's not that.
