spam and or virus

[Caran]

Deleted. Why do I get these emails?

[Nibble]

The spammer uses a computer to generate any feasable combination of letters & words, and unfortunately, it does quite often come up with a genuine email address. This one eventually connected to your personal email addy, sorry, but there's nothing you can do but delete, delete, and delete.

Caran, it's a bit like why does this Indian gentleman ring us nearly every day

But it also contained my full name.

//Why do I get these emails? //

Think of all the places where you've willingly handed over your email details: -
online shops
online e-petitions
charity websites
facebook
twitter
Answerbank
Any other online 'special interest group' forum

Any of these organisations could have sold their database of user emails to other organisations. The more it is passed around, the more likely it is that the data gets into the wrong hands.

Note that facebook has an option where it 'helps' you to find your friends' FB accounts by (get this) accessing your email address book on your computer and using those addresses to search its own database and present you with a list.

If they have software capable of interrogating your computer remotely, then you can be pretty sure that hackers and spammers have their own equivalents, although it may require a phoney website or an incautious click on a dodgy email link to establish the data connection to your computer.

A 'click here to unsubscribe' type invitation from a company you -know- you have never shopped from or communicated with is obviously suspicious.

Ok,see what you mean, but never do twitter or Facebook but hold my hand up to the other suggestions.
