Since i came in the microsoft news group and made the
mistake of giving my email!!!!

I am infested with emails filled with VIRUS!!

Thats a shame that microsoft is not having more control
on his sites!!
PLease someone help me get rid of this shit ...
 
Microsoft has nothing to do with this newsgroup. Use the tools in Outlook
Express to set rules for receiving email. go to Message>Create Rule or
Block Sender, depending on what you want to do.

Never open attachments unless you have specifically asked someone you know
to send you the attachment. Save the attachment to a folder for the express
purpose of scanning it before opening it.
 
Never...never...never...use your real email address when posting on the
usenet. Use a firewall...several are better than one...and a router. And an
anti-virus program with email scanning. You gotta hunker down.

p.s. It ain't just this newsgroup...it's all of 'em.
 
Greetings --

It's been well known for years now that posting/publishing a real
email address to _any_ newsgroup or web site is an open initiation to
be spammed. For years now, spammers have been using automated tools
to harvest email addresses from Usenet. What I don't understand is
why you're just now noticing the phenomenon.

You're receiving these emails because your email address is in
the address book of someone infected with a worm, and/or because _you_
posted your real email address somewhere on-line, either in a forum
accessible to the public and spambots, such as Usenet, or on an
untrustworthy web site that subsequently sold your address as part of
a mailing list.
