I just got a 'Somolgy' Heldsburg guitar festival 'viagra' type add, just tracking where it may have come from. It looked 'legit' so I opened. Then viagra type add. Anyone getting these?

And now it has dissapeared, not in junk, not in in-box. very wierd.

You might want to run your spyware software like spybot or Ad aware.

I am, but it was weird because it was an email with a nitch header, (Somogyl, Heldsburg) and then the viagra thing is really what its about.. So it must be targeted off one of 3 or 4 websites.

I received a 'Somogyi Books and Hearldsburg update' e-mail. I opened it and it was completly normal. No pop ups no viagra, just Ervin talking about book updates.

I don't know what happen with yours. Maybe your computer is trying to tell you something... :P

Last week somebody spoofed my email. I ended up with a ton of undelivered notices in my in box. I hope none of it actually made it anywhere. I understand my private registration is suppose to prevent that. I hope.
So if anyone received spam from me, it wasn't from me.
Anyway, I guess those things can happen.

I don't know whether to be jealous or annoyed. On the good side, I'm not getting spam. But I wouldn't mind an update. Silence is making me wonder where I am on the mailing list.
