Hi,
I am getting hammered with Microsoft (Virus Laden) Emails. I know Microsoft
does not inform you of problems this way. I have Norton Anti Virus Plus
Firewall installed. Is there anything further I can do to get rid of these
Emails?
I think at one stage of loading an application I was asked to give my email
address to something like net use or something like that. I have asked for
help before and one nice person told me to remove my name from this
whatever. Can someone tell me what this is and how do I get there.
Thanks in advance, know I'm not to bright but what the hell.

Unsubscribe to all after noting which news groups you have. Start from
scratch with the wizard, no address this time or a fake one. You'll still
get virus mail though unless you change your address.

Jeff,
Open Outlook Express and then:
If you don't get any newsletters from Microsoft, click Tools, Message Rules,
Mail, then on the 'message rules' panel click 'new' to create a new rule and
enter the name Microsoft in the blocked senders, and choose the delete from
server option. Click 'ok'. and 'ok' again.
If you do get genuine MS email, then I noticed that the subject headers stay
the same for a day or two. So enter the header in a new rule, then update it
till this whole thing stops. You'll know as soon as a new header gets
introduced, no problem.
Hope this helps,
Chek

Filter at the Email Server or Filter in your email client.
Filtering at the client is easier but the (big) files download before they
are
deleted -- at least you don't have to look at them.
IF you are not the Email Admin, ask the admin to filter this stuff -- if the
admin cannot do it, get a new admin.

Having sent email to UseNet (your NoSpam helps but I bet they have figured
out to just search and replace these by now) you are in thousands of address
books. Too late.

What I did was change my E-mail address. If your ISP provides WEB based
E-mail support (Earthlink for one does; sign on to that and preview the
stuff there and delete the junk before it downloads to your system. If your
ISP does not provide such WEB based service, try www.pop3now.com . They
provide it for $5 per year.
