Email Viruses
Trimoor:
Has anyone else been getting dozens of email viruses lately?
They consist of the "I-Worm/Netsky.Q" virus in an attatchment.
No body text.
The reason I post this here is because they started immediately after I presented my rotary joystick hack.
The address I gave on the site was freshly created, and has been given out only there and on this site.
Anyone have any ideas how to stop this?
I tried contacting the server admins that spamcop pointed me to.
Here is a header: (my email has been censored)

I have also noticed a huge increase in junk e-mails within the past few days, but only one virus. My e-mail address on the BYOAC site is private, however...
RayB:
Nevrr post email addresses ANYWHERE. Use PMs if you have to give it to someone.

I'll post my email address, it isn;t a pop account.
Anyway for my pop account I use Eudora. I have yet to have a single virus in the last 3 months running eudora and mozilla.
