New viruses & spam abounding

May 08, 2005 0 Replies

Hi gang-- I usually get about 50 legit e-mail messages every day, along with that many spams (blocked) and perhaps 25 "suspect" messages. The other day I got 120 blocked virus messages! While it's very satisfying to select them all and dump them into the spam pile, it takes a while to deal with them.



All of these new things some in e-mail entitled "Re:" or "Your registration" or "Your email was blocked." And I am posting this here because a bunch of them come from people with whom I have corresponded in the recent past--one of these was allegedly from Kate!



So if you get something that looks like a friendly sender, and it has an attachment, you'll want to scan it before proceeding.



What a pain. At least my machine crashed early and I am now all firewalled up.
