message source in Thunderbird

[tremmor]

I will explain the best i can. Last night i received a email from a family member why did you send this link to me. Read it with a link and instantly Kaspersky internet Security pops up and says 'infected'. the link i clicked on wanted to install something and scan. instantly i exit. i scanned and found nothing. On the other note i did not send to one member of family, my wife and one friend. I tried to trace back looking at the message source in thunderbird. i used to know how but forgot how to interpret the source of where it come from. Did not come me. I could post my log but my question is how to interpret. I forgot.

I did trace someone about 10 yrs ago with comcast. used a email bomber and sent him about 500 of his emails every day that was his.
said your off my list now. STOP.

im rusty now. i forgot. ......

It used to be only yahoo and hotmail accounts the users password was hacked and they accessed the account and sent out spam emails to their contacts. I was just notified this morning that its now being done to comcast accounts. Change your password and the spam emails will stop.

If you don't have a copy of that email in your "Sent" folder, most likely, that email has been send from another infected computer, which has your address in their address book.
