"Boystrup Pb, ann,..." wrote in message .be... I'm here but drowning in incoming viruses on my old adress. Sent you a I have received over 5000 of these things since Thursday. Close to 500 came in just this morning. Late last week, I had worked with my ISP support office to reconfigure how their anti-spam works with my account. All seemed OK for a short while, but then the flood renewed. I checked just before lunch and the anti-spam service had been turned off on my account, so I turned it back on. In the past three hours, I have received maybe half a dozen spam messages, yet at the rate they were coming this morning, I would have had another 500, give or take a few dozen, in that time. My point is, my ISP provides antispam services free of charge, but it has to be activated by the user! Your ISP may do so too. You may want to check with your ISP to see if they do offer antispam services. Maybe, if they have the sense to offer free antispam services (for the sake of efficient use of their mail server and bandwidth), you may be able to preserve the original functionality of your old email address. And if they do, make sure it is active on your account, and then recheck it once in a while to make sure it remains active. After all, one of the things viruses and worms try to do these days is knock down security software. If they have a chance to start on a machine, the first thing they'll try to do is shut down any security software, such as fire walls, virus scanners, spam control intrusion detection services, &c.

I thaught so too, but I have a free dialup internetlink. The other options
are twice as ecspensive as just paying for the phone costs. Because it's a free service they do not offer any other service than 4mb of space at my server. So as the virus files come in and wait the space fills up and the oldest are deleted once the space is full. Now I have found a way to start OE without downloading my messages on the infected e-mail adres. I can send messages and my pc is virus free, using 3 different virus scanners I have been keeping it clean. a firewall doesn't work because the files will build up on the servers space and still delete all other messages. The firewall only keeps them off my PC. I wrote my provider and server, Belgacom, They told me that it was normal that people, who are to cheap to pay for kabel and wish to use normal dial up connections, to have problems like this. Their advice was, to order a kabel connection and they would then give me a connection with the same e-mail adress. I realy realy want to *+-/ç(è'")")( one of the people doing this virus BS.

"Karen" wrote in message ... Ted, I thought I was bad with 600 or so (total), but now I feel really sorry for you. Karen Hmm, my baby sister's name is Karen. Not that that observation means anything. ;-) Thanks Karen, but now there is no need to feel sorry for me, because from noon until now, just after 9PM, I have had a total of a baker's dozen email messages containing SPAM. That stands in marked contrast to getting close to 500 this morning alone! It appears that the ISP's antispam service is working. I am not surprised since this level of spam has to be quite costly for ISPs in terms of mail server maintenance and wasted bandwidth, so I'd expect most ISPs would be happy to provide a 'free' antispam service because of the financial benefits they'd see in better use of their resources. BTW: was your domain name shown above created for politicians? It seems to be quite fitting for the fellows who debated on TV this evening leading up to the provincial election here in Ontario. I don't think I have had the misfortune to encounter such a contemptable lot before. Cheers, Ted |

I just have to poke fun at myself sometime. It is a real isp (without the invalid) Karen |
