Virus Advisory PLEASE READ

Yes, I know that senders are faked. But those faked adresses don't come out of nowhere.
If someone has many SE4 related adresses, including some old ones in his adressbook or somewhere else in his hard drive, he must be a long time SE4 player.
I guess there must be more than just 1 person infected, I heard that these viruses spread really fast and I doubt that I can be getting so many mails from only one person.

Edit: finding out someone's IP is beyond my internet knowledge

Me neither. I use Hotmail as well. I think Hotmail is filtering the Messages and just deleting them.

The company I support is filtering Messages, removing the virus, and sending the message on to its recipient. Not only does this mean that the exchange server is still flooded, but it also means Users keep calling in to complain about all the mail they are getting or worse call in to share their hysteria over the 'viruses' on their computer. (No virus on there, but the e-mail says it cleaned a virus from the message and they frequently assume that means they have a virus. I love it when people see an important message and only read one out of every three words.)

I am averaging about 25 a day now. And you multiply that by 3 email accounts and that is a lot of fricking virus emails. I block them all so eventually they should start to reduce.

Most of them emailed to my hotmail accout are filtered out or blocked by now.

those sent to my ast email for both me and the stm are getting blocked as they come in.

I have three email accounst on my server and I get no virus emails. Mind you, I don't publicize thos email addys either. I don't get any in my yahoo email either and that one I use if I need register with anything Online.

The two accounts I do have that are private have not gotten any virus emails either.

Only the accounts that are public seem to get nailed. The Price we pay for having email.
