[OT] 250 viruses and counting (e-mail)
Just want to let everyone know that since about 2pm yesterday some asshole
has been e-mailing me a virus every few minutes. I've gotten over 250 of them so far and they're still coming. Luckly my service provider is catching most of them and I'm deleting the rest as soon as they come in. Please tell me I'm not the only one this has happened to. |

My ISP classifies it as the AUTOMAT worm. I got 495 from this morning
to this afternoon. I'd say 1000 for the day. FFM James Anatidae wrote: Just want to let everyone know that since about 2pm yesterday some asshole has been e-mailing me a virus every few minutes.
