I am starting to get lots of virus at my home address which is strange since my public address is the hotmail one you see here. In the past two hours, I've received four emails with bugs in them. I have yet to receive a virus email at my hotmail address, but I am getting them at my home address.
The virus harvest people's addresses from the recipients address book, and then mails out the virus to those folks. That means if I am in some one's address, it will be copied and others will receive a virus email from me, even though I didn't send it out.
What I am requesting is that obviously the net is experiencing a higher than average virus attack. I would request all forum members purge their address's in outlook express, keeping those which they only use frequently. And especially purge the email address's of forum members. Last year at this time, I received about 4 emails a day for about a month of the Klez virus, harvesting emails and forwarding them to other people.
So its time for a New Year's cleaning of your rarely used email addresses.
Also, don't forget to update your virus definitions.
