The only thing I received where 4-5 short info mails by my email provider's antivirus that told me from whom I would have gotten those mails if they hadn't been filtered out automatically...

I can't understand that people don't have their mail scanned automatically (if possible already on the server, before receiving them). But then, there's still people who don't upddate their resident scanners regularly (that's what automatic updates are for!) or (god beware!) who don't even have one...

If NTL were a decent ISP they would do that for me, they aren't so they don't

*Sniff* No viruses for me. I even got out the tin foil hat just in case.

Nada. Zip. Nothing. My mail server has a protection system that is so paranoid and evil that it makes the Spanish Inquisition look like a fluffy pink bunny and it's security is as impenetrable as a pair of medieval armored underpants.

lol, the only thing I worry about with these protection systems is them blocking regular mail that you actually want to receive.

I use a spam filer that seems to have learned in its advanced ways that only messages from users in my address book ca nget through. Stupid freakin algorithms...

I don't want to vote "no" because the second I do I know I'll be inundated with loaded emails!

j/k

I haven't received any of this one at this point, at work or at home.

At home it's not a prob because I only use web based email... Safest way to do it if you don't have an antivirus program like me! (never had one from email ever)

This one seems to be a big one though! B*strds taking all our bandwidth and causing places to lose large sums of $ with their crappy virus!

[theavonlady 2]

Yahoo Groups service notice related to the MyDoom virus.

[JdB 151]

with their crappy virus!  

Well, if it was crap then there would be such a fuss about it now would there?

None as of yet

My dad's entire company got f'd over with this virus, or something like it. One person d/l'd it because they thought it was from someone they knew, the e-mail address was, but apparently that person didn't send it. Then it did a leapfrog from comp to comp, it supposedly sent itself to other computers. My brother who works at a different company got an email from a guy at where my dad works, but they didn't have each other's email addy's.

That's what my dad told me at least, as far as he understood. But he's not too into computers so that's probably only half right.

About 90% right.

It spoofs the sender's address and it can even spoof a recipients address, using generic names such as jack, tom, etc., and pending them onto a domain name from a real email address, hoping to hit additional victims.

So, I've gotten email with TO addresses of people I know, even though their email program didn't send it and people have received emails with me being listed as the sender, which isn't true.

Really.

Honest!

I'm up to a whopping two now

Yay, my mail server got 66 in two hours!

It blocked them all, but I've got a horrible feeling a user has brought in a infected laptop and plugged into the network, as the mail server is blocking outgoing mail as well. I'm at home today, but I'll VPN in, and deal out righteous justice. (No network access for that user)

[SKULLS_Viper 0]

Still none for me.

Oooh it's hotting up, received my 3rd one, but more interestingly received my first "you tried to send a virus" type automated reply (obviously it wasn't really me who sent the virus, just for the record   )
