if you ran it then your most likely infected
and it targets OE and IE.
thats why I use Netscape


you have 2 choices:
let it download all the msgs then delete them.

call your internet company and have them delete
all msgs from their end.

I haven't gotten any mail all day. Now I think I know why. Anyway, I
also use linux and this is one case where having a minority os is a good
deal

It's not that you email yourself it's that someone gets infected and starts
emailing everyone and their mother. Hope that you're not on someones email
list.

I think that anyone caught making and sending out a virus should be shot -
and their mothers and fathes for having them. That would put an end to it.

Sounds like a bunch of people in need of anti-virus software. I have
not received any, but most of the people I correspond with keep current
with their maintenance.

I'm for that! At least some punishments that are more of a deterrent than,
"We're going to take your computer away." The problem is that many of these
originate offshore.

Interestingly enough, my server stops most of them. But, they want to let me
know how well they are doing so I get the same amount of spam anyway, saying
they stopped it. Got 40 this morning so I finally got smart enough to filter
the "potentially unsafe" messages.

something that I found out.
I am getting tons of these, my daughter isn't,, & neither is my 'new' yahoo
address.
"I" am using my address for newsgroups,, my daughter does NOT go on
newsgroups, neither does my yahoo address.

I also read from other newsgroups, that this seems to be the trend,, the
virus stuff is being sent to emails harvested to those on
newsgroups.........( well also kazaa etc)

I had 250 bogus emails by 9:30 or so this morning -- along with one from
southeast.rr.com letting me know my "inbox" was too full and would I please
download the messages. I'd say conservatively that by 6:00 pm today (9/19),
I have deleted at least 600 emails. The ones that aren't from Microsoft
(which look like the real thing, except I know that MS doesn't email
patches) are identified by RoadRunner as having the Automat worm.

actually, it grabs your email from the address book of the
"infected user" who happens to be on the newsgroup!

if you clicked on the file, dont get on the internet until
you get it fixed or it will just keep sending them out.

Gale,

I tried setting Norton Anti-virus to just delete emails from those on the
"blocked senders list" that I had just created, but I got a popup screen
each time NAV did it, yuck!

Try going through the options at NAV until you come to "delete messages
silently" or something like that.

Well, at least this email barrage has accomplished something -- I'm
finally going to get a bigger hard drive installed, so I can download the
*real* security fix from Microsoft's website; I've tried several times, but
I don't have enough space on my hard drive (probably because I was foolish
enough to install Windows XP on an "older" computer).
