I posted in these newsgroups using my email address
because it would not let me put (remove this) as part of
my email as suggested when I signed up as a user. So now
everyday I get a minimum of 3 virus and today I got 11 in
my inbox. They were mostly the swen viruses.

Is there any way for a moderator to delete all my posts?
That email is my work one and I don't want to continue
getting viruses in my box.
 
Nope. Even if they did delete all of your posts, the spammers who have
software that crawls the newsgroups already have your address.

It's best to use something like (e-mail address removed) or
something like that when you post to newsgroups. As long as you don't post
using your real address any more, you should see the number of viruses
decrease over the next week or so, but there's no guarantee they will go
away completely.
