If you antivirus definitions are up to date, then you might not be infected at all. Somebody else with your address in their address book could be infected, and the rejection notices you are getting are from emails that didn't originate from you – your address just happens to be in the sender field.Right on, not really too much you can do. You may not even know the person that has your email address. If your virus scanner doesn't find anything, I would just say don't worry about it. I was at the point a while back of getting 200-300 of these emails a day.

Re:The other thread, also in the Technical Support forum concludes with my connnectivity re-established. I don't know how it happened, but I'm glad I can put off any reinstall of XP until I can replace the waterpump in my 87' Caddy.
Thanks.
Re:Can't get through link. It's closed to all but current subscribers.
Edit: My father had something happen similar in August/September. We had to do a low level/zero fill reformat and that fixed it. No matter which AV software we tried -nothing was ever identified. Good Luck 
Re:Well… I just lost connectivity, but only in the WinXP partition. I'm speaking here through the fact that I have a dual boot system with win98 installed. This is a link (http://subscriber.{$MySite}/messageview.cfm?catid=32&threadid=1177542) to my new thread with a description of the new, but possibly unrelated problem.
Re:That second one (and maybe the first) sounds strongly like the sobig worm/virus.
Symantec's/SARC's page on Sobig:

You would figure Symantec's own virus protection would remove it but truth be told, it doesn't always get the Windows permissions it needs to fully remove some of the things it detects. Follow the manual removal instructions on the bottom and see if that doesn't help.
Re:might try stinger (available from mcaffee)… its a worm detection/fix thingy

Re:give avg anti-virus a shot…they have a freeware version available
Re:Maybe try Spybot – Search & Destroy and/or Ad-Aware?
