OT e-mail messages since yesterday

[the private email address] Have you searched google groups by address to see if you ever forgot & used it or mentioned it on usenet? That is supposedly the idea of the SWEN virus [NEWS backwards]-- it target Usenet-used addresses. Of course you might have a few of the 6-8 month old Gibe worm which uses outlook's address book. If they are SWEN, give http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search a try-- put your address in the 'author is' field, and separately try it in the 'all the words' field. I've never munged my address & have had this same address for 5 years or so, so I've been getting them at 50-100 an hour since yesterday. [only 400 overnight, so it might be slowing down] It's a shame that such clever people feel the need to waste their time vandalizing strangers. Jim |
