Receiving hundreds of "delivery failure" notices

[kkrocks97]

It started yesterday, but ever since then, I have received over 300  "delivery failure" notices to my verizon.net account.  It's obvious I have been hacked but now what can be done to fix it?  It is very annoying.  I have not opened any of them, I just delete.

i think tuna virus scan is a mispell or an auto correct that went haywire.   I decipher it as run a virus scan

run a = tuna    r and the t are close on the keyboard etc.    

Try Trend Micro's Free online tools and double check all of your stuff.  I recommend doing housecall and also the rootkitbuster at the bottom of the page. 

verizon also offers a free scan as well (3 tries) at www.verizon.com/freetools

Hubrisnxs guessed it in 1! I was rushing and didn't proofread. My bad.
