I have received several of these messages. I did open the first one and immediately opened to an ad. The messages usually say "somebody" sackett and then "no subject". I have just deleted subsequent messages after the first one.

The messages had no subject and the content was solely a website address. These are likely indicators that the message was generated by a bug that has infected someone's computer, and the sender would likely be unaware of these message being sent. We are contacting the senders in each case to alert them to the problem. As far as we can tell, the bug does nothing more sinister than send out bogus messages to a selection of email addresses found in an infected computer's contact list, thus perpetuating itself. Best advice is to consult your computer shop or technician and ask them to check your computer disks and files. It is also advised never to click on links in emails unless the source of the email is known and the purpose of the link is understood.
