The 'feds' ? Ah, you think mayhaps that only Americans use computers and the
internet...
Still and all, it's noteworthy that only posters in this group are subjected
to this virus loop. I use 1 out of 5 accounts to post and that's the one
being hit with this garbage, so there's your source. Tracebacks are
pointless, this character cloaks really well. Proof once more that anyone
running their PC without updated AntiVirus protection or in the very least a
firewall is wide open to being manipulated. Sick world out there, campers.
Must be that glyphosate build-up.

I'm glad that somebody else has admitted to being on the receiving end of
all the bogus "Microsoft" spam crap.

I hope Bill Gates gets so mad over the assholes abusing his company's name
that he has all the offending parties behind this mess tracked down and
terminated with extreme prejudice!!!!

Yours is the third message [on 3 different groups that I read] that
has made that claim. No group seems to be more or less targeted as
far as I can see.

I've been getting 100 an hour for the past couple days & though I have
posted here, I'm far from a regular.

People posting on my stamp group are also getting this. The "feds" will
work with the law enforcement group of your choice to catch these guys who
send out viruses and such

The mail server is down on the addy I use for usenet, but I'm still
getting them in another addy.

There is no one place they harvest email addresses. Usenet is big so
they may start there, but but if you use an address for anything the
harvesters will find it one way or another.

I don't participate in any other google groups and I started receiving
these Microsoft spams since I joined here yesterday. What is the news
on this thing?

Eh, don't feel bad. A few weeks ago when that other worm thing was going around
I was getting about 600 spams per day. We use Mailwasher, which I believe is a
free version. My husband tried the pro version for a month and didn't feel we
needed all the other bells and whistles, but it does trap a lot of spam before
it gets into the mail program. Also, Zone Alarm, Spybot, etc...some of these
things overlap, but some things are unique to other types of protection. You
seem to get a lot of these things. It may be better for you to print off a copy
of your email addresses and delete them from your address book. Add them back
in, slowly over time.

Well, I dunno. This particular attack is clever, the disruptions it causes
is a bit like 'many scratches' and no doubt, that was the intent. Anyone
could do this, from anywhere in the world and the odds of actually locating
the scumbag(s) responsible are slim. Time for an ISP level pre-filter.
Interesting times we live in. If a series of these 'efforts' were to be
launched simultaneously, there could be severe economic damage. As if we
need yet another reason for damaging the economy...
In the final analysis, it is the world we ourselves have created. Millions
incl. myself depend on the internet for communications, perhaps we have made
too many assumptions. Hmmm.

My ISP is filtering out the emails with the worms and virii attached. I
also use a firewall and an anti-virus, which I upgrade with the newest
definitions as soon as one is available, so I feel confident our computers
are safe.

May I say thanks to whoever it was that posted the link
http://www.mailwasher.net/

free for 1 mail address and it really has reduced the problem to a low level
and it is also blocking most of the other Junk mail/Spam
