well ah, doesn't everyone only allow chosen people to send them email?
I mean if your working a commercial email account your not able to do it as Dangeruss points out his HD email is swamped, PixTudio works through their regular email I am guessing so it is open. Has to be a spyder that gathered all the emails to start with...

What I would like to know is if any emails are listed by known friends, clients or users or are all of them generic in nature. Mass emalier scripts shouldn't run automatically either because people should have an Active Virus scanner that blocks scripts until the authorize a script to run (only takes a moment and can save your hours if not days, or/including your work)

yesterday I was out of my machine during 20 hours, when I cam back and openned Outlook, I had over 4000 emais, what took me over 3 hours to dll. Even being with  my virus updated and with my machine 100% clean. This is a shame >

ouch thats so bad, isnt this been worst yet 2000 to 4000 spam viruses...

sorry to hear everyones getting dinked by this...

I guess my security setup works...

anyway...

Unfortunately, the account that I am getting slammed on is our support account.  Not getting the virus sent to us much, but are getting flooded by "returned" email from email that was spoofing our address.  it's a real pain and a drain on our email server. 

Where my hubby works, they pulled the plug on outside email.  you can use the intranet to talk to company employees, but they will not accept outside mail until all this clears up.

David, the e-mail addresses that these mails appear to be coming from aren't the real addresses of those infected by the virus. Read my post above.

6500 and counting so far, this sucks so bad

also got a trial of norton firewall( I was using a free one before), manually check for virus updates every day.....

Evidently not....

bah - some people are missing the point - you can have a perfect security/virus set up and still be screwed by this stupid thing.

We are all screwed by it regardless. But the more obstacles you can put in its way the better. Don't open unknown e-mail, question all e-mail, protect however you can, hope, and put up with the mess these things are making of something that could be so good.
