Friggin' Microsoft and their assinine OS. I've gotten over 100 mails with the virus yesterday and am still getting them today. Virus scrubbers on the firewall have killed them all before the mail gets into my inbox, but it's still annoying. Now what's worse is that some infected machines are using my email address as the from/reply-to, so now I'm getting bouncebacks as well.
Here's a tip: USE VIRUS PROTECTION and KEEP IT UP TO DATE!
Do not assume Microsoft or your ISP or anyone else will keep your PC clean. It's your machine, and it's your responsibility. You don't have to write your own anti-virus software or configure your own firewall, but at least use some industry standard software and keep it in proper working order.
It's kind of like your car. You don't have to change the oil yourself, but you do have to remember to have the oil changed regularly. No one comes over to your house every month to check your oil without even bothering your about it, right?
