This morning in my hotmail and business email accounts in box I have lots of messages saying undeliverable messages. I haven't actually sent these messages. Lots have attachments which I haven't opened. Is this a virus? I have McAfee anti virus.

    As with all attachments you don't know where they're coming from, DON'T OPEN!

    Somebody sends SPAM or viruses with your email address as sender and some of them went to non existing addresses. The only thing you can do is, delete them and move on. If they're keep coming in big numbers, create a filter to do this automatically. But be carefully with this filter not to delete genuine emails.
