No my email address is not spread that much. The only list I'm on is this one and friends have my email address. No company's at all because I never buy or react to advertisements. I don't receive any spam at all jet. Also this email address I only have since July, before I had another one but had to change because of problems with the previous server. So because of that I started to think it must be something in MY own computer having me receive all those false Micosoft Updates. sylvia. Its not really you, per say. Its pretty much how spread around your email address is. Apparently your email address is out there enough that all these people, places or machines have it handy to send you the notice. Not sure the source of those emails, so don't know if someone is physically typing in your email address, or if its coming from others' address books. ---Troth At 9/25/2003 07:02 AM, sylviavdwall wrote: >Is there something in my system that triggers them to come in so many times.
