Re: should I be concerned?
 

I would edit your post, if I was you, your email address is clearly visible.

Whether it's real or not, I don't know, maybe a techie can best answer that. Is your AV up to date ? When was the last time you did a full system scan ? Do you use anti spyware programs ? It may be worth doing a full scan.

Re: should I be concerned?
 

why are you opening posts anyway? are these people known to you?
Ive had warning like this before and its been a crock of crap ;) your email provider will have been in touch if you had bombed others.
They are trying to send you a virus

Re: should I be concerned?
 

Done.

Re: should I be concerned?
 

I'm using outlook express - so the emails are there without me opening them..? AVG ran this morning, all ok. thank you for advice guys.

Re: should I be concerned?
 

It may be worth doing one of the many online scans, try one of these. Just for extra peace of mind.

Re: should I be concerned?
 

I hate pop mail you would be better of doing it webmail imo. But the virus wouldnt have been run so you should be fine

Re: should I be concerned?
 

These emails are bogus. Any ISP would send an abuse complaint to NTL - and they would inform you of your compromise - in accordance with their Acceptable Use Policy, this is the protocol for abuse complaints.

As has been said, delete and ignore the spam. More similar emails reported here:

Re: should I be concerned?
 

I am pretty sure that NTL also move users that have this problem into a "walled garden" area on the network. Basically, the only sites they get access to are the ones hosting updates.
