e-mail and these were both from friends whose computer had been infected
with a virus. Two days ago I made the mistake of posting my e-mail address
in this newsgroup along with a problem I was having. Now today I have
suddenly received FOUR e-mails so far that contained the w32.swen virus with
them. Two of these were about a microsoft security update with microsoft
logo on them-which I knew right away were viruses and the other two were
about some fictitious undeliverable e-mails. THis is totally disgusting that
you can't post an e-mail address here because evidently certain individuals
are targeting E-mail addresses they get from newsgoups like this to send
viruses to. I WOULD STRONGLY URGE THAT YOU DO NOT POST YOUR E-MAIL IN THESE
NEWSGROUPS. If you do you best make sure that your virus program is up to
date and checks your email.

That was like posting you unlisted phone # and then complaining when you get
telemarketing calls. It should not be like that, but it is. I would just get
another email address or use the hotmail or yahoo mail address for junk
mail.
