Normally I can sort this sort of crap myself, as im fairly handy with computers. But I cant seem to shift this one....its an email that keeps sending itself to all my contacts, I only realised when my ebay email account received an email from it. It goes as follows
Subject: Dear friend!
quote:
Dear friend,
How are you recently?
I bought a laptop from a website: www.elsso.com last week. I
have got the product. Its quality is very good and the price is
competitive. They also sell phones, TV, psp, motor and so on. By the
way, they import product from Korea and sell new and original
products. They have good reputation and have many good feedbacks. If
you need these products, look at this website will be a clever choice.
I am sure you will get many surprise and benefits.
Greetings!
Theres a lot of coding language, looks like HTML so I think its some sort of advert thats sending itself out. Ive Spybot'd and Virus searched and come up with nothing  Is it something at Yahoo's end?

Don't these type of things come embedded in applications?

You can make an e-mail look like it came from someone who didn't send it, that's why a lot of websites convert your e-mail address to an image rather than plain text to prevent bots from picking them up and using them. The reason why they'll pretend to use your e-mail address is to trick the spam filters people use these days.
