Angry WARNING - Viruses sent from MyRebates.com

When I sign up for websites, I use a unique address to identify the sender. For instance, my email here is [email protected]. My MyRebates.com email is [email protected].

I have recently been recieving viruses sent to the unique email assigned to MyRebates.com.

So far they have lied to me and told me they are not responsible.

Just a FYI. Wish I had not signed up for that site.

I like your idea for your e-mail accounts. It is a great way to see where all of your e-mail/spam is coming from. Can you now just block all e-mails to that particular e-mail address?

Virus emails usually come from someones PC, that would mean that someone at MyRebates has all their subscribers email accounts on their PC
