Hi,
I am new here. Every few days I have some emails sent to random addresses ( not in my contact list ) and some unregistered addresses return as delivery status failed from post master. I have used the free AVG, AD-aware and symantec but can't shake this problem. It's all random and misspelled with a mispelled link so it is hard to research... Here is an example of my email. Any help would be much appreciated.

The 'klikk her' word is the link.

Your email address is probably being spoofed.
