HI All
Today as I checked my emails I had 4 message delivery failures. These message were never originated by me in the first place. The messages have more or less this format:

Now I think someone is using my address to email people who are contacts and actually exist in my outlook express. I have been using standard zone alarm and nothing was ever flagged to me and therefore never noticed anything.
Funny enough when I went on asite which sell firewall a popup window came up giving my address saying that my computer isnot protected.
Can someone please help on how to resolve this problem.
((Pls note that the address above have been changed by myself for obvious reason and therefore AD1, AD2, etc are substitute for names which are valid))
Many Thanks
