    ive used my junk mail option.... banned em.. blocked em... kicked em in the shin.. and then poked em in the eye.... but they still keep coming....

    its from peoples address' i know as well.. so cant really block em completely or i wudnt get any from them... :spangled:



    personally.....


    .. i think its hotmail.. sending out these massive emails... filling up ur inbox... so a few hundred soppy tarts will buy that £20 extra storage...

    Yep.. there's a few e-mail viruses been going round recently.. biggest culprit is one which says 'Joke screensaver to enjoy' or one of its varients. Easy enough to spot at 32k.

    Yeah, I get them too. They're so annoying. What I've noticed tho is that all the one's that I get sent are from addresses that are similar to the one's I have in my address book but are not exactly the same. :confused:

    Over the past couple of months, Hotmail has become a nightmare for junk email. :mad:

    Virii

    Hotmail scans your email for virii on receipt. If it contains one you are notified. More often that not, such emails are just chain letters. Spam filters will work in many situations but from a domain like hotmail.com you can't block it without an alias, heh :cool:

    If you are taking all messages to your computer with Outlook or another client a virus will only act when executed. If it is HTML based it may run on preview etc. Outlook and IE did have a hole allowing items to be ran instantly without you knowing even with anti-virus software. If you have the update it will help protect you in this sense.

    Many weaknesses can be exploited, too many to speak of.

    Anywho, laters.
