I hate to say "I told you so..."

This is why I refuse to put my address on usenet.

Although I still haven't received a satisfactory explanation for why I've
been banned from the auto-approve list because of that. It doesn't make any
sense.

Yep I picked up 370 overnight. They are 50kb approx in size so I have shut
down the check mail every 15 minutes function on outlook express.

Am using a program called Mail Washer www.mailwasher.net to check the server
before downloading to my pc if this helps anyone.

I know, I just got nearly 300 over the last day and half though my
campus mail. Thankfully my mail reader strips the virus out, but it's
taking up a lot of bandwidth. Does anybody know where it came from?

We're not special. Everyone is getting them. If any idiot using
Microsoft email software and *not* using decent virus support has your
address anywhere (viruses are no longer restricting themselves to
scanning address books), you're going to get the viruses when they come
around (about every couple of weeks any more).

Honestly, the Virus of the Nucleus of the Swarm (or whichever of the
sixty or so variants of its title you prefer) was a sweet, cuddly guy
compared to these computer viruses.

I guess I've been lucky. I've only gotten about 100 of the little
buggers. Luckily, it's only been affecting one of my email addresses
(the one listed here). But every time I check my email, I've been
sent over-quota.

Ah, the wonders of technology, eh?

190, is that all .. I've had 1500+ of the bastard things in the last six
hours! Taking me all my time deleting the things. Hope the little scroat who
started all this off today sleeps easy tonight!

I know this is off topic but hopefully it will help some of the Clara
users on this newsgroup with these viruses


I know a few people here use Clara as their ISP for emails, etc

If you do use Clara as an ISP for your email, etc then you do have
access to user configurable email filters at the POP3 level.


To use these filters visit:
http://customer.clara.net

and then click on: Configure my mail filters

and then log on with your Clara username and password


Half way down the text of the Filter screen you will see the line:
If you wish to edit your filter file manually, you can do so by
clicking here.

At this click on the 'here' and then paste the following into the
filter box:


To "Client" drop
To "Partner" drop
To "User" drop
To "Customer" drop
To "Receiver" drop
To "Commercial" drop
To "Consumer" drop
To "Client" drop
To "technet.msdn.net" drop
From "Microsoft" drop
From "Inet Message" drop
From "MS Corporation" drop
From "MS Internet" drop
From "Net Email" drop
From "Customer Assistance" drop
From "Internet System" drop
From "MS Net" drop
From "Internet Message Service" drop



One you have done that Save your changes and log off. This should now
filter out nearly all of the current virus emails which means they are
deleted the moment they arrive on the POP3 server so you don't have to
download them.
