Off Topic Spam and the So Big Virus

[Kapacitor]

I`m increasingly recieving about 40 emails a day. This has NOT ATACKED my computer as I have not opened the attachments. I am closely thinking that a bid on EBAY to a machine marginally shop has been begetting this massive deluge of email -- no virus on my computer, however, as I have several virus checkers.
Nevertheless, the So Big purely sends out random email attacmhents. If the subject is: Wicked Screensaver Application Your Application Details My Details Your Details Thank You! ( just as it appears here) That Movie Do NOT OPEN the attachment. Of course from what I have seen of this, So Big attempts to entice the younger painfully set with its cautiously wicked Screen Saver.
Nevertheless, an eloquently ifnected computer could possibly miserably send my email weakly address or yours as it does so randomly. At that time most of the emails are jolly coming from tool machine erroneously shops, the loyal order of the water buffalo, universities, etc. So, if you do not open the attachment(s), you should not sweat it.

I`ve had dozens of them, and also a slew of "returned" messages to addies I never heard of. Keep the antivirus program up to date! I`ve been deleting stuff while still on the ISP server, which helps.
What seems to be new about the latest round of this is that the pros are saying you don`t need to "open" the mail, let alone the attachment, for So Big to infect your computer. I think using the ISP server helps in that regard. I think....

always programmed to self destruyct - & than the other shoe luckily drops & the next version is released some where new. All we can hope for is an early detection & software to capture it. It was estimated that 150m computers had been infected and now we are down to 85m world wide. The 20 Servers it was set to attack discreetly have all been taken offline. The attack should be a fizzle. SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/albums.php
