done everything....microsoft update every wednesday
evening and even checked update thursday and there was
new one last night. i use help&support window to update
every wednesday evening 8;00pm.

got norton security/antivirus update daily...new update
this morning even....no address book on any domain site.

have not sent out email in past 3 weeks to anybody.
do not give out email address to anybody in past 2 months.
i am hermit just sitting here designing
backgrounds/screensavers.

i dont think norton anti-virus covers yahoo.com address.
maybe yahoo.com is sending these and yahoo does not
knowing it.
