I seem to be getting emails with my own email address in the From box. What's going on here? How can I stop these people from sending these out?

Steve,

Start by updating and running your virus scanner.

Then, run AdAware from Lavasoft www.lavasoftusa.com
or www.lavasoft.de

If both come up negative, the next step is to install a firewall to see if you can determine who or what is using your computer.

A simple e-mail security trick that I use is to disable the send immeadiately function so that I have a chance to review what is being sent.

these are unsolicited mails and the spammers figure out your email address and puts them in your to and from boxes. i suggest you send a copy of these letters to your ISP's admin (abuse@domain.com) so that the admin can blacklist these spammers.

hope this helps.
