Am I getting viruses? By these common names?

I keep getting these emails that gets put into my Bulk folder and they are from names that I don't know so I just delete. Like Jenny Talior and Virginna Smith, and I don't know a Jenny or a Virginna and it's not like I am only got one, I am getting lots frequently.

Am I getting viruses? By these common names?
i catch viruses sometimes. i usually seem to get the ones that make me sneeze a lot.
Reply:Ok, the worst thing that can happen is, well, you having to read them. Yahoo scans your email, and yes it happens to everybody. You might have to change your email if you get too many.
Reply:they are your average spam i would just delete them don't even bother worrying about them or opening them.there could very well be some phishing or even virus file in any of that type junk so just delete it.
Reply:It is very common for a virus to search the computer it is infecting for email addresses. When it finds them, it will build a list and send out emails using the addresses it found as either the To: address or the From: address. Unfortunately, if some one who has your email address is infected with a virus, its possible that you are receiving the bogus messages or the rejection notifications.





If you are concerned about getting a virus (you should be), you can defend against them by keeping your computer patched with the latest updates and running antivirus software. If you are already doing these things, then you probably aren't infected with a virus. If you don't have any antivirus software, you can go run a one time scan at the included link to check your system.
Reply:i think that u shouldn't open them at all cause, someone(f..) could have send viruses 2 u!!
Reply:Bulk mail is spam mail. Never worry about what is there. Yahoo has already caught it as spam. It will be deleted automatically or you can empty the entire folder at any time.
