"Microsoft" mail viruses...

[ƒ Nicholas.Prisi ƒ]

Hey all,

Is anyone else getting emails that are supposedly from microsoft? Things
like "network updates" and "security patches" with some .exe attached, I'm
getting about 60 a day, each time from a different address (they are
obviously not from microsoft.) Also, I get a hell of allot of emails saying
mail delivery has failed for an address I've never seen before, with an .exe
attached as well. Apparently these emails are coming from people's machines
that don¹t know they are sending these "viruses", Well I delete all of them,
never tried to open the files. My question: do you guys think that I'm
infected as well? 2ndly, how the hell can I stop these mails from coming to
me, I don¹t want to use the junk mail filter since I will never be able to
remember _all_ the addresses I _want_ to get mail from, what would be great
if there would be a feature where you could ban an address, like you get a
mail, right click, and choose "block this address". Am I blind or is there
really only the junk mail filter?


Thanks all

It's the Swen virus.....
