I'm getting emails containing the I-Worm/Sven.A virus.
They are all from the same source; purportedly from Microsoft being an
update for a security patch.

AVG finds the virus all the time, but today I got 6 of them.

Hotmail is aware of them since it automatically detects them and marks
them as junk and says they are tracking them down. But my ISP obviously
doesn't.

Does anyone have any clues how I can stop them. They annoy me.

Use a ISP with a decent malware/spam filter.

Rodney,

Is your hotmail.com address legitimate, or a throw-away address? If
you want a ton of crap sent to you, use a real address on Usenet.

That's the reply I wanted Ron. Silly me.
Thanks :)
