A friend said that she has received more than 10 thousand emails at work from
my email addresses and that the techs said they all came from my pc. Some of
which she received when my hard drive was dead and when i had no internet
connection. I have mcafee and am up to date on my antivirus as well as my
spamkiller. Is this possible and if so, why is she the only one receiving
them?

thanks so much!!!

Someone "may" have "copied" your Interent email address and is now
"spamming" with this info.
