Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 I’ve had a record number of virus laden emails tonight too. But Norton caught’em! I just got through making rules in my pc format to automatically block and delete all mail coming from them. I think I’ll reset my Yahoo preferences to NO MAIL for a while and just read online til this blows over. Charlotte Pre-op (tomistic) computer stupid- PLEASE HELP Ok I am having a problem with virus's- Bless Norton Anti-Virus's heart for catching them all as I receive them- BUT I literally got 100 infected emails tonight in my mail box. I know that the sender's name disguises itself or whatever, but the names are all names I recognize from the posts on here- and no one I have contacted directly- Does anyone know- if I set this to NO email, will it stop if it's somehow being transmitted thru the list? I don't want a virus and I certainly don't want to contaminate someone else's computer either!! I already ran the tool for the Sobig thing and it says its not on my computer. Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated! Amy Pre-op scheduled 10/14/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
