Default Hiccups in Cyberspace?

I am perplexed as to why my sister would get 2 emails I have not sent her this past week. I had sent her the email about 4 or 6 weeks ago though but not since and it is always the same email. It has an attachment with the file extension of my Broaderbund greeting card program if that makes any difference. No on else has mentioned to me getting any duplicate emails from me so that seems strange. Also that is strange is that her computer anti-virus software and mine show no viruses. Mine did show the 1st time I had grayware but that didn't sound serious when I looked it up and I had quarantined it also.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

It could be a hiccup of some sort- sound like a good name for it.

If you both use only 1 type of virus & spyware program - maybe go up into our sticky and download a free one for a more thorough scan.

Some say a single program may miss something and a second one will catch it.

I was using AVG full time and then tried the free bitdefender and if found 3 viruses!
