OT e-mail messages since yesterday
Another simple matter is to just use the regular AT for the @ sign and DOT
for the . Then the Bots will not harvest your e-mail address and regular people can figure your address out. Or you can just change it to anything you want it to say. Dan "DigitalVinyl" wrote in message ... 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.

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.
