damnit, and my antivirus isnt working! Whenever I have Norton Auto-Protect enables my computer restarts randomly.

Who is making all these viruses? I'm starting to get really annoyed by these, especially since I caught the MS.Blaster.Worm back when that was going around... it was such a nightmare

Tell me about it - I'm getting totally HAMMERED by this virus at the moment. Norton AV is removing them all, but 200 virii in your inbox every day is a bit worrying...

Wow, is that on your personal e-mail address or the BioRUST e-mail address? Either way, that's horrible. Most I've gotten (on my personal e-mail address) was 5 viruses in one session.

I have gotten 0 viruses in my mail... null..

Then again, I don't have my email published on a site like BioRust.. but to make it fair, all you losers who look for email addies to send virii to, mine is digital@digibliss.net!!!

Note: I use spamassissin that is automatically updated, stops about 80% of most spam and virii.. (the ones classified as spam)

Hey, I dont mind - 90% of the spam/virii just gets wiped up by my software. I guess its my fault for having the same e-mail addy for 3yrs - the spam knows how to find me...

ConceptualMind · 01-29-2004

I don't get much spam at all. My e-mail is everywhere, it was once on Spoono.com and said I was part of the staff. I don't know how that happened.

I get like 15 spam e-mails a day, and I'm getting very tired of it. I wish I knew how to stop it..

Usually they are not viruses, thoufh. I think a lot of them are spyware, though.

I use a combination of Norton Antivirus and Spamnet - kills 98% or so of all dodgy stuff I get. Not free though...

Well, I'm broke right now, and probably will stay that way.

Adaware my friend... adaware.. nice software, use it and I have no problems with spamware at all..

As for email, I am lucky if I get a message, I am not as some one say talkative :P

I use Adaware, I just ran it a couple of days ago actually, and still, I'm getting spam... maybe I need a new version?
