Spam email looks ordinary until I "mouse-over" sender's name and a new name appears.. a name from my Contacts List and no domain name attached. I tried to filter the sender (Gmail filter option) but only a single letter appears where sender name and domain should appear. The letter obviously comes from the Contact List name because capital letter vs lower-case letter always match up. For example, if the "single" letter is a K, there is a K (capitalized) in the Contact List name.
Looks like a piece of malware is resident and has sent my Contact List to a spammer. BitDefender has not found anything but to be fair, I also ran AVG 8.0, A-Squared, Zone Alarm, Webroot, SpyDefender, CounterSpy, Kaspersky and Avast all of which found nothing. Please note that I disabled BitDefender and ran each of the other anti-malware programs "standalone". Yes, I am somewhat paranoid about malware but with good reason.. 2 totally trashed systems in 18 months.
Anyone else seen this type of spam? What to do?
