Re: OT: PLEASE UPDATE
Yep, since the Last few viruses came out, I've noticed I get around 3-4 emails a day caught by NAV. Before those, it was very rare I saw one a month.
We're (my wife and I) sure some of our friends are infected as you can get a clue (it seems) when we get our daily supply of jokes passed on to us AND a virus or two (before they terminate their dial-up connection). But they say their PC is clean.

Re: OT: PLEASE UPDATE
Heh...
After years of surfing the net in 'paranoid' mode (never post to a newsgroup with your real email address, kill all cookies after browser session, use anti-virus/firewall/proxy utilities) I've finally started getting spam. Apparently some of the very few people who actually had my email address were infected by the 'soBig' worm and once my email started getting used to send infection Messages it was harvested by a spammer somewhere. And now I get the viruses in my mailbox when the notices go out on public channels. Once you're 'known' you're 'known' and you can't undo it. At least I keep my NAV up-to-date and it protects me.

Re: OT: PLEASE UPDATE
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.  |

Simply bill the hackers with all the damage they cause.

Re: OT: PLEASE UPDATE
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 ***.
