Microsoft email attachment

[Erik Cominolli]

Over the past week, I've been getting thousands of emails
claiming to be from microsoft telling me that there is a
patch attached to this email. I know this isn't true and
someone has a virus but how do I track them down? The
email headers are coming from dozens of places. Should I
just shut down my email account and start over or is
there a way to fix this. These are like 116kb attachments
and my pc is geting quite bogged down. I have 4678 of
them right now. I called Verio, who hosts my email server
and they said they can show me the email server that the
mail came from but that's it. How do I stop this madness?
