I'm about sick of this damn microsoft virus
It's been flooding my inbox for days, anyone know when it's going to stop? It seems like there's been an awful lot of this crap lately.

6. LOL... it doesn't stop the mail from coming though
I have a Mac as my primary computer and I STILL delete tens of virus laden mails everyday... I just don't fear them.

2. It's non-stop
I never gotten so many. For the last 4 or 5 days I've gotten over 50 a day. That god I've got anti-virus software.

3. Are you using Microsoft Outlook as your e-mail client?
If you are, you can download a utility from CNET that's called Spamfighter. It should catch this e-mail before it loads down into your Inbox. Works great....not sure if it woeks in Outlook Express, but I assume it would.

4. I AM on a Mac and STILL get e mails
of the virus...

But of course all I have to do is delete them and not worry but it is taking a lot of space that could be better used for POLITICAL ANTI BUSH e mails.

5. I delete them
it's just a pain being on dialup and waiting for the virus to load to get rid of them.
