Something bizarre going on...

Something extremely strange is going on with my e-mail account. It seems that something called gin2@www.gameintruder.com has "infected" it. Almost like it's using my e-mail account as a proxy to spam. From time to time I'll get an e-mail from a server stating it's inability to send to X email because X email does not exist. So it seems to be doing this randomly.

And as of today I've gotten messages from people to, "leave me alone"(Except in usually much more crude terms). The messages though, are not sent to my account, but gin2@www.gameintruder.com, but yet still, arrive at my account.

Does anyone know how to rid me of this rather viral annoyance?

    Well you could always try to block the sender. But it sounds like they are being sent from dumb fire accounts so that probably wont work. The only thing I can think of is report it to whoever your email is, Gmail..Hotmail..whatever.

    try doing a full spyware scan too if that does not show anything use the netstat with the -aon switch and see whats listening to the net. sounds like your botted up and that means a clean install of your entire PC/network also change your login password to your email account

    Tin Foil hats dont work.. its all a conspiracy
