 Computer related question, Please Help!!
Author: Workin on it

Sorry this isn't weight related friends,but I need some help from someone who knows computers. I have two questions. First, I keep getting returned mail from people whom I haven't sent any mail to. What is up with that? Is someone using my e-mail address and sending out spam? Second question, I'm kind of embarrassed asking this,but how do you back up your computer? I was on the microsoft website and trying to download some security stuff on to my computer and it said I need to back up my computer before I download. It sounds easy, but I've never done it before. What do I do? Thanks and sorry to be a pita.

.....if you are getting returned mail from people you have not sent email to
you are probally correct that a spammer is using your email address and
faking the return address to make it appear as if it came from you so they
don't get angry replies, but what I do is to forward a copy of it to my ISP with
a note of explaination and they can study info in the header to try to track
down who did send it, and also they can tell it really was not sent by you
to begin with.

Most ISP's have a customer support web site, check out yours and
you should find what address to forward such emails to as well as
other related tips and info.
