virus attack

Seems like the latest trick is to make it look like a returned massage.

I've deleted over 150 this morning and one or two of them seem to hang up
my
Mcafee software. Have to hand delete to get around that particular file
in
order to get rid of the rest of the junk.

They're coming in fast and heavy now. Cleared my junk mail folder an hour
and a
half ago. Just checked and there was another 30 or so in there. They're
using up
all the space on my hotmail account. It wouldn't surprise me if the web
is a
bit congested tomorrow morning.

this is the most successful assault on the internet to date, imo.
surely there is some force to protect us .

g.c.


Your isps are run by nitwits if they're letting this latest barrage get
through to your personal mail stores. Even my Yahoo account has developed some
immunity, I haven't gotten one out of this latest run...so far ;-)

/daytripper (just checked, zero hits here on three different isps)


My ISP and my employer has it handled but Hotmail is a disaster. I'm
just going to let the box fill up as emptying it is a waste of time.

We're not getting the actual virus, just the messages from which
it was stripped. At least that is what is happening to me on
fastmail.fm.

My davplac account is protect by allowing only certain names to pass. The
other 6 accounts on my aol have no mail controls set, yet they are not
receiving any of it. (???)

Several years ago I saw an article that said if you put 1000 as you first
address in your address book the worm tries to access the addresses and
stops when it hits 1000. I don't know if this still works or not, but I
have kept it in mine. Of course this doesn't prevent your receiving the
messages, but it prevents the worm from using your computer to send them.

As long as it makes you feel better, Ernie.

You mean I'm not getting my 12,000,000????

But what about the money I sent to make it all happen?

You've got to be kidding???
