Re: OT: PLEASE UPDATE
It might be your computer that's infected, and drawing a bunch of fake senders' addresses out of your address book...

Um Ed, don't you think I would have ran a scan of my system before I posted here? I think that falls under the Duhhhhh file.

Re: OT: PLEASE UPDATE
I've been applying updates to my antivirus program (I use AVG {web page}) and running a complete scan pretty frequently these past couple days. My network connection has been running slow, so I figured viruses were going around, slowing up the networks. I've always been clean, however.
[EDIT]
Hmmm. A quick check at the Windows update page tells me I'm missed the Last 2 updates to XP. One dated May 11th and the other more recent combo. So that may be something you all ought to check. Quick 1 meg download.

Re: OT: PLEASE UPDATE
The more people that are aware of the problem the better chance we have limiting the effect. Most likely this issues will continue for some time, but my god, 32 virus emails in one day is a tad to much even for me to deal with.
And that was on only ONE email account. I average between 60 to 100 over the three emails accounts I have with ASTmod
I hate viruses, and the scum who make them.
