I run Outlook 2000 and Norton Antivirus 2002 on my
Windows XP Home machine. For the past 2-3 days I have
been receiving large numbers ot messages from senders
calling themselves, "Postmaster", "Admin", or similar
names with content something like fhe following example:

I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the
following addresses:

Undelivered mail to trzoqtawd@freemail.com

Message follows:
[End of message]

The supposed addresses are all unfamiliar to me and not
in my Address Book. Is this a hoax, or have I been
infected by a virus that is generating random e-mail
messages? If the latter, what should I do?
