More likely spoofed or nicked your e-mail addy from some ones address book with a trojan Chris.  Just reinforces the need to keep Internet protection up to date and on your guard.

The recent problem we had on the forum was a DDOS (distributed denial-of-service) attack on the data centre that provides our on-line services.  Not targeting us specifically but it still caused problems. Grrr.
