How's everyone else doing with this latest virus? I've been sent it 22 times
in the last 4 hours!

Virus checker seems to be on top of it at the moment.

Haven't seen it at all. Earthlink may blocking the messages before I see them
though.

My Company is blocking about a 1000 of them every 30 minutes. I am having to
upgrade the software and hardware on our Mimesweeper server to be able to cope
with all the checking and deletion required!

The other issue is the spoof problem. We have some users with 80 or so emails
from Virus checking servers, informing us that we have a virus! This is due to
the fact that a web user with our details in the address book is spoofing our
the FROM field with our details... More SPAM!

Ouch.
