Seven times now, although since I can really only fit tow of them in the account, there's no telling how many additional times it's tried to cram one of them in there.

Still, I understand if there isn't much that can be done about it.

Does it have anything to do with Sasser?

My hotmail has been apparently unaffected, FWIW.

"Sasser"?

Not sure what that is.

But it's only NGC5 that's doing it right now, so it might have something to do with the game as well.

Unless we coudl follow every one all the way through, or unless I posted all the header information and someone interpreted it, we're going to have a bit of a time pinning any of that down.

I don't know if this matters or not, but I have received two virus emails today claiming to be from admin@pbw which I know is not true.

In other words I know that pbw did not send them. I really hope that one day that the person or persons responible for these viruses and other nasty pest come into some harm. Like loosing the ability to use their fingers or something.

Sasser is the Lastest Virus to be doing the rounds. Much like the MSBLast Virus, it sends packets to random IP addresses to effect other MS computers. It is not an Email Virus.

Affects only WIN2k and WIN XP computers. Uses a bug (or deliberatly build-in feature of M$ to spy on you?) in the system, you don't need to open an email or use a browser.
