Every day now I am receiving about 4 emails selling me Viagra etc etc....the emails appear to come from my own email.
Have I at one stage been infected with some malware or a virus or something ?
Running scans and updating all my various anti-this and anti-that software does nothing !
Any ideas ?
Thanks

No worries, the most likely explanation for this is that the spammers put your email address into the sender field too. Spammer software can do this, it's a trick that will prevent some anti-spam software from filtering this junk out.
Or you lead a secret double life, it's so secret that you don't even know yourself about it. [
