Netsky Virus

[racegirl]

I have a yahoo e mail address that i use for un business like stuff, and for the past 4 weeks i have been getting messages with the topic of "fake" and "warning" and "information". In the e mail it is just a one line message of no relevance and the senders are unknown to me. In each message (i get about 3 a day) there is a file attched and it contains a virus that is called W32.Netsky.B@mm
I am confident i DON'T have this virus, as my company PC detects virus's but i am getting annoyed at the extent of how many i receive.
Does anyone know how i can stop these?

We were reciving many many of these , strangly they have no all but stopped ! strange that you should now start to get them ... i think you just got to live with it until it morphs into the next version

Its a pain in the butt. If you have a paid subscription to yahoo you can get them to treat them as spam. I get about 60 a day, its driving me nuts! They all for something@my domain name.

Just wait till you start getting all the automated replies from email servers saying "you have sent an email containing a virus, please check your anti-virus software,,etc..." because your email domain name is being spoofed by the viruses.

Stop sending me auto-replies you are clogging up the email servers just as much as the viruses !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the 'something' is definable, you can use OE message rules to delete them from the server specifically.

I blocked every address for a week (to stop getting replies) and it all died off.
That was on a yahoo address too.
