I agree with DAvid. I downloaded the free version of MailWasher and marked
the Microsoft upgrade e-mails as enemies and now I don't even have to mess
with them. and since changing to VIC, they intercept 90% of this crud for
me!! All I have to do is run MW, process (it deletes what I don't trust or
want in a matter of seconds) and then it opens up my mail program for me. I
close MailWasher to keep it from locking up on me, and then download all my
mail. fast, easy and no more hassles! It's not Microsoft that's sending you
all these things. It's generated viruses. I've been notified by VIC that
they've deleted over 60 SWEN viruses this week so far for me, and some
"dangerous text" messages that had hidden worms and viruses. My McAfee
hasn't even popped up they're so efficient. Between them and MailWasher, I'm
now happier than I've ever been about this stuff. You're going thru what I
went thru weeks ago, only I had hundreds of these things like alot of the
world did. (look at the post I made alerting people before I discovered
someone was harvesting our addresses from ALL the newsgroups and sending out
SWEN viruses by the hundreds)

I use MailWasher, free download, and it works well, intercepts all junk
mail
etc and is easier to sort through, though I wouldn't be without Norton
anti
virus as well.
I get around 200 junk and "Microsoft" items a day, and can now sort them
out
in around 10 mins.
