Virus Infections
I'm being attacked. So far today I have recieved 20 e-mails containing the W32.Sobig.F@mm virus. I'm so glad I use a Mac right now.
It is a little weird, I know so few people with Windows boxes that I usually avoid all the emails. I wonder who it could be?
Only 20? You're not being attacked. You're just being probed.
I got 50 just between 9am and noon today. have probably received hundreds since it started.
Here's a tip. Set a rule to delete any message that has the header "X-MailScanner" with a value of "Found to be clean" it's a bogus header that's in all the Sobig.F messages.

I was surprised that I received any. I'm up to at least a hundred now. Thanks for tip, works great.
