Yep, I've suspected I've gotten virus mail from someone in the SEIV arena aswell, as that is almost the only ones outside sweden that has my e-mail adress, and all virus mails are from foreign senders.
What bugs me most are those mails that are being sent out from other computers with my mail adress as sender...
But, one gotta learn to live with this I suspect. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Simply bill the hackers with all the damage they cause.

Those addresses sounds french and could have been mine, but I don't think I'm infected at the moment (I have been infected a few months ago, and my provider warned me of several email user complaints). I've got all the latest Microsoft security patches installed, and I check my HD with AVG antivirus and adaware frequently...

I also get about 30 spam and virus emails each days ( surely more, as I've got ~100 filter rules set on my email server...). It's really a pain in the ***.

Okay here...knock on wood.

Im not really susceptable. I read my emails on a linux machine in text mode. Much faster. I have a popmail address I forward things to if they include graphics and I know the place they came from.

That doesnt mean I dont check anyway but so far the arrangment has kept me worry-free. Another advantage is that the linux address is a throw-away and the popmail one is a "real" address. So if the traffic gets messier than its worth I just kill the linux mailbox and make another.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">same here, no infection to report.
Could really be a french adress or a quebec one.

Does anyone has this test@club-internet.fr in it's adress book? Got a warning from them that I had sent them a virus but I'm clean. Unknown enemy, could Stephan have a virus?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I get like 2 or 3 emails with such viruses every night lately. My Virus detector immediately deletes the attachments,and then I delete the email and I update my detector whenever I am not doing anything for 10 seconds. I especially never touch an email I don't know anything about. The emails aren't very convincing anyway. Half the time they don't even have any text. One of them I don't even know which was worse the fact someone was trying to give me a virus or that they obviouslly think I am an idiot. It said, and only said,

Take a look at this attachment.

Edit: oh, and I downloaded all the updates for my OS. Took up a lot of my download for this month, but better safe than sorry.
