someone started sending me stuff from stansberry

It's probably not a virus. I went to the site using two different virus packages and neither one detected a virus.

However, it's more likely that your ISP account name was "harvested" by the web site (which would presume that you have a corresponding id on your e-mail account), and then your e-mail address is subjected to an automatic process that will keep sending you unwanted spam e-mail. Typically, these harvested e-mail accounts are shared with other dubious Internet denizens, which will eventually beget you even more unwanted spam e-mail.

You have only two choices. Get a new e-mail account or continually block the sender from your existing e-mail account. These guys tend to vary the sender's return address, so blocking is a continual thing, not a one time effort.

I have the same problem from a different site, and I just send anything from those people to a junk folder, where the messages are eventually deleted. I have to block a new address every so often, so while it's a pain in the butt, it's not hopeless either.

EK!!!
