I did get one such spam from your address yesterday. Could it be malware? What virus and spyware protection do you use?

I have Spybot S&D, AVG 7.5.  But... I don't even remember having your address.  

I have just seen the culprit spam by default:  My Italian friends newsletter received it as an entry and sent itself to me.

These pests have physhed from a Madrid recycling forum, through two providers, but the providers don´t offer effective measures except ´go read the forum´!

I´m really sorry about the bother because I protect people´s information.  I don´t even want to send apologies for fear of making it worse.  Any more effective and direct way of reporting to the majors?

I only realised it cos I got one with an extremely unlikly request from another source a couple of days ago. So I guess there's a rash going around.

I'm gonna make a backup email addy cos I've had friends get their accounts frozen cos they've been spammed and the nuisance is not trivial.

If they got my email address, it was a more serious intrusion: they broke into your mailbox. (We exchanged emails at the start of this year, BTW.)
