Viruses/worms

[Bill Patterson]

Hi,
How do I get Microsoft to take my email address off its
computers. I'm getting buried alive by worms coming from
MS Corporation Partner"
>, ... I've run
Norton on my computer and I don't have any viruses/worms
but every time I check my email I get a dozen email from
Microsoft Network Security Section, all kinds of patches,
fixes, debugs... There must be some way to get microsoft
to remove my email address off its computers. I'm a
disabled vet and need my computer to communicate with the
world.
Thanks in advance,
Bill Patterson

Someone needs to send microsoft a copy of Norton
Antivirus. :-)

This crap is not coming from Microsoft. See other posts on this NG.

The virus writer has the virus spoofing e-mail addresses making it look like
it came from Microsoft. All you can do is delete them.

It's not Microsoft sending you this. It's a virus sent out and started by
someone else.

A vet being buried alive by worms? Now that's an interesting thought!

I suspect they're not coming from MS at all and didn't originate from them.
I think you are being bombarded by one of those outfits who claim to be
partners but are just ways of spreading viruses.

Usual rules apply: don't open any attachments unless you were expecting
them to be sent, keep your virus definitions bang up to date and do a Virus
scan on your system often.

HTH and good luck

Greetings --

It's got absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft. You're being
flooded with these emails because your email address is in the address
book of someone infected with a worm, and/or your posted your real
email address somewhere on line.

Create a rule in your email client to delete such messages from
the server.

I just logged on to check my emails. I had no less than 65 eronious msgs.
Just delete them. Anytime I have to give my email address to someone I use
Yahoo.com address, there are hundreds in there.

If you go to the Microsoft Web Site, you will find that they are aware
of this problem and make the statement that they do not send these
notices out. All updates are done through the "Windows Update".
I set mine to delete on all incoming.
