This is the main reason I stopped using a working email address in my
newsreader. i used to use my real name and email all the time (I had
no fear of what I was saying/posting). Now I use a fake
) for everything by default. I got none from this
particualr infection. Though I understand the pain as a day does not
go by that I don't receive viruses in my email. I have a website that
has been translated into multiple languages and mirrored in foreign
countries so worms that pick addresses from pages visited hit me
heavy. No matter what country they start infecting from I get them.

Since yesterday I have received a total of 215 e-mail message that says it's
"Microsoft Security patch", or Network security patch, or Administrator mail
notice security update, mail security, postmaster security notice........ALL
of these have bogged up and bogged down my computer, last nights 45 messages
indicated it was going to take THREE HOURS to download. I left Outlook open
in the send/receive mode and this morning when I got up, those first 45
messages were ALL that message with that message. I deleted them all. When
I hit the send/receive button again was when I got another indication there
were 141 MORE messages and this time it said it would take TEN HOURS to
download them all. Squire went to Bellsouth's webpage and to my e-mail
account and viewed all the messages after we closed Outlooks window and all
141 (with exception to three) were the messages I've mentioned above. We
deleted them all. These are insidious worm viruses that boogers up your
computer. You've been warned. Please don't flame me for telling you
something you might already know about, I'm just trying to be nice and let
those that might not know about it. Off to werk...........
