E-Mail SPAMMERS/VIRUSES

[ReFiNeD]

Hello,

I have received approx 150 / messages / day from a spammer that uses multiple domains to hide his name. He sends them each day (@ approx 150KB per message) and he puts an attachment with a presumable virus.

They also write
"Please see the attachment for more details." and have a catchy subject like "RE: Your Application" etc...

I have NO clue how to stop this and it is really making me mad!!

i don't think there is anyway to stop it. it is most probably the remnants of sobig virus, or the other one that surfaced a month ago. they utilize spam with viruses.

Right, these are all from the sobig virus that has been going around. The good news is it's supposed to self destruct after today. Bad news is, it will likely be back.

Subjects it uses:

Your details
Thank you!
Re: Thank you!
Re: Details
Re: Re: My details
Re: Approved
Re: Your application
Re: Wicked screensaver
Re: That movie

I get the same one all the time. It gets your email address from crawling webpages so when it finds an @ and a . it sends the virus to that email.
