Hello ..
I got a e/mail today which reads ..
"postmaster@uibn MDaemon Warning - Virus Found ".
I never had a e/mail like this ,after all who is postmaster@uibn ? , I would have thought it would be AOL who notified me my ISP ,or am I wrong ?.
I still haven't open the letter and thought I asked first whether I can open and read or just delete .
Answers would be very much appreciated , I did check with AVG and no virus found also got Ad_aware and Spyware Blaster .

It's just an automated response to an email that was detected as containing a virus. The virus is most likely on the computer of someone who has you in their address book. The virus would have used your email address as the sender, that's why you are getting the notification. You can just delete it.
