Lots of Virus's coming my way lately?

In the last few days I have been getting lots of infected emails, anybody else? Seems to be the same virus.

Norton is doing its job, is there any way for me to fight back against the senders?

Jim

Here is a dump from my Trend Interscan Virus Wall that monitors and filters all the email on my local email server:

"Klez.g"

What is this "Swiss Flow" you refer to?

LOL, I knew gator was pure evil.

What scares me the most are the people who don't care if they have viruses because "I've had them on here forever and they haven't done anything to me."

Joe (anybody) ?-

Does your program delete the entire attachment when infected and not repaired?

With my setup on Norton AV I have it checked to delete the infected attachement, but an attachment comes through regardless.

I virus scan the file and no virus is found, but I'll be dammed if I am going to open it to see if it is infected or not! I would have thought the attachment would be deleted before it get to OExpress but it is still present.

Any help is appreciated. I sent a question to Symantec about this with no reply so far.

TIA
Jim

everyone is getting klez right now... its the current virus of the month

Well it wouldnt be if people would stop using The Virus Explorer - Outlook Express/Outlook

WOW. i feel weird... ive only gotten 42 emails containing w32.CIH since 12th of april :)

CIH?!

I thought that virus was killed off a long time ago. That was the first of the viruses that scrambles some BIOS :)

as i said, ive gotten A LOT of w32.cih... nad i tell you. its a PEST to get rid of.
a REAL pest..
i wouldnt have nopticed it in time unless Half-life said the hl.exe file was corrupted.. ONE more day, and KABOOM my comp would have been scrap. and i mean it.
