RE: Annoying virus being mailed to me

Chris,

   Your not the only one. We have the same problem here within our office. I am curious how many other people it effects too.

Subject: Annoying virus being mailed to me

Hi guys,

For the last two months or so I have been receiving emails with the I-Worm/Sobig virus attached about twice a day. My anti-virus sw protects me well so I am not infected in any way (nor has anybody else here). Initially, I used to ignore the messages and delete them; after a couple of weeks I decided to trace the source IP from the mail header and send complaint messages to the corresponding ISP. But the Bast**d keeps finding other IP's to mail me from. Messages come from big@boss.com. Is anyone else being targeted? Is this a common occurrence? Am I the only one?

Cheers!
Chris
