I hope I don't have to spend the rest of my life deleting this rubbish from my email

See given link for details

The Sobig F virus has a built-in timer that will stop it working on 10 September 2003.

Oh joy, just the next three weeks then.

I keep getting those too.

So far, just one a day, and I keep deleting them. My Anti - Virus expired, but I don't think I'm infected.

I was a little freaked out when I got an e-mail that said "Re: Details" from an address I didn't recognise, because I do actually send out e-mails with the subject line.

The virus spoofs the reply address from the ones it harvests too. So you may also get undeliverable messages although you've not sent anything out. Isn't it all just wonderful...

Yep. That's another 100 dodgy emails in the last twelve hours, and also 20 emails telling me that an email I didn't send was either infected or undeliverable. Such fun

Anyone know how to use this pen-and-paper thingie?

And then, suddenly, at midnight they all stopped. Phew.

Lucky you. Mine are still going strong, with about 120 per eight hours. So I phoned my ISP and he said they were trying to trace the infected machines. Between this and spam, email is a finished thing now, I would say. Adored your monopoly piece.
