>BUT YOU KNOW WHO IS REALLY RESPONSIBLE - It's those dorks that have my email in their address book that clicked to open an SCR or PIF attachement - they should be forced for "re-education".
Not necessarily in their address book. Some newer viruses also get addresses from other sources - such as the browser cache. That is, anybody who browses Universal Thread, not only people who regularly write you.
Another error (apart from opening the wrong attachments) is not to have the antivirus updated.
>I have also recieved "RETURNED BY SENDER" because their ISP would not accept the attachment - I wrote my ISP just a moment ago. This worm also falsifies the "From" address. Norton has a page about mr. sobig!
I got several of those, too. These messages are starting to get meaningless, with the new forging viruses.
20 messages x 100 KB = 2 MB - in a single day (and it might well continue growing). Quite a lot of bandwidth. Also, compare this with the storage quota of some free e-mail services. I wrote to the e-mail provider, suggesting they automatically delete certain viruses.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
