      That's how spam gets around the internet, they get your name and email address and everyone your have emailed and their names and start a ball rolling. It goes to everybody's email contacts and on, and on, and on. If you make sure that the security is on every email you send out it helps but not sure there is much more you can do.

        You need some virus software too. Panda has a free scan, http://www.pandasecurity.com/usa/ But there isn't much you can do about it now. What's done is already done just block them for the future.
