Dear all,

My email account currently is getting a lot of emails
which sender name is "MS Network system" and those email
contains an attachments which has an exe program there.
And this kind of emails which I rev'd at least 20 times
per day. Does it mean my computer is infected by virus ?
 
Not all! Just make sure that you have a good up to date
Virus protection software like Norton Anti-Virus that
scans your e-Mail as it comes into your machine! I also
have been receiving a very large number of E-Mails that
contain the most recent Worm infection. Do not open E-
mails that say they are from Microsoft, Microsoft does not
send out updates by E-Mail.....

Best wishes,

Jim

There is no way to "fix" the problem since this is what the virus in
question does. It sends itelf from the infected computers to any
email-adress it can find on that computer.

You can do something about it though, scan/filter your account before
you download the emails to your computer. There are many free programs
that does this, they work alongside your regular email-application.

I have posted a description about a way to deal with this issue (the
swen-virus in particular) at http://nakawe.sf.net/MMM3
