I've gotten a couple of obviously infected emails tonight.  Nothing like early in the week, though.

Some moron tried sending me one of these this morning. I'm thinking about changing a number of my email addresses to protect myself against the spamming vermin that got my addresses. When I find out who gave it to them there'll be hell to pay

Ozzy

once again email box clogged full of them and more important emails go undelivered. i swear if i ever found the person who created these new viruses, i would make sure he dies a very slow and painful death

Spam is equally annoying but not in the same class as a virus which can seriously damage your system. I've been getting more spam than genuine mail for years & it's recently got worse. I once opened a Hotmail account to see how it worked. Only one trusted friend knew my address. When I went back only 2 hours later to check for mail the Inbox was full up. About 50 e-mails, all spam. Figure that out.

PS. Think I spotted Rifleman as one of your inquisitors. I assume you're in there somewhere so who is the other one?

I have had it with e-mails. I hate them, I defy them, and I will also be the next person in line to punish the living HECK out of them.

Hey Ozzy, you think the Spanish Inquisition is the worst? Wait till you see Vlad The Impailer (no, not the one from BattleBots). He was once a total ruler (not sure if was Russia he ruled over) that punished his people so badly, he would have them killed and hang their bodies on these long poles that impailed their bodies as a display. Many, today, say he was the first actual DRACULA. He not only drank the blood of his victims, he also ATE them as breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

If I ever find out who made the Code Red worm, the Blaster worm, Miranda virus, etc., I will... oh you know.

I keep getting hit by spam so much, it feels like I'm playing a of Asteroid. I have to quickly delete them before they can come back.

Actually, it feels more like "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly". I have to be ready.....Set........DRAW!!! (Click..Click..Click..Click..Click..Click..Click..Click..Click..) 

There is one other way to reduce e-mail spam as well. It's not practical, but it will do.

I think we are better off having our friends e-mail addresses in our heads rather than letting a computer know it all. Remember, spam spreads through the use of the address book. If we get rid of the book and put it in our heads, we will be able to slow down spam. But for how long?

Spam has not only gotten into our e-mails, but also in our mail boxes, front doors, all the way down to our very own, highly-advanced, and very expensive CELL PHONES!!!!!!!

While I was in school, I always had my cell phone with me (Samsung, Verizon Wireless) when ever my parents want to contact me (due to school rules, I had to use vibrator mode).

My phone vibrated. So I thought it was my parents again wanting to remind me of something. However, when I flipped the visor over, the very first thing I saw was SSSSSPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!

My phone has the mobile web, but it's not activated because I have to call the service provider. So I don't know how it got there. ??? It asked me if I wanted a Big Mac for half the price. LMFAO

So I closed the visor and prayed to god that it doesn't happen again.

I have recently found out that in the very near future (since everyone here in the US has a cell phone that's mostly cheap as hell) every fast-food restaraunts will have an electronic system installed on there buildings.

That way, whenever you walk or drive pass McDonalds or Burger King, your cell phone would ring and then tell you about the so-called special offer on a Big Mac, or maybe tell you about a new pizza when you drive or walk by Pizza Hut or Papa Johns. AAAAAAaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

First spam comes as a food, then it comes to your mail box, then your e-mails, and now our cell phones?

Where the hell is this world leading to.

when it comes to cell phones, i am sick of it on there to, i get a number of messages every day and then to top it off, a couple days ago 5am i get a call.(i had only had my new phone for a day so how they got number i dont know) anyway get a call asking if i wanted to be home insurance, ooooooh boy that person really shouldnt have done that, there were words i used that i had never used before in my life, the person on other end sort of said sorry by the time i was done and hung up. i was about ready to go looking for them and really show them what sorry was

Katahu, Vlad (or Bela in the local lingo) was a Transylvanian (as it is now) prince. His castle is now a tourist attraction, and I'm a big fan of his work, particularly the gardening, e.g. lots of heads on poles along the garden path, this is v.me

Ozzy

PS. His name is Romanian in origin, Dracul means dragon.

Thanks for correcting me on what country it was. I was thinking about Ivan The Terrible. This time, I know Ivan is Russian (at the time, it was called Prussia). He's not as evil as Vlad. But just like Vlad, he kills his own people (but in an old fashion way).

I saw a picture of Ivan in a history book back in school. He had a HUGE iron (or at least it looks like iron) cross on him like necklace.

My teacher told me that if you notice, those who wear big crosses on their neck are troublesome in a way. Those who where small ones, though, are not. ???

I was like, WHOAH!!!!!! I'm not sure if that's fully true. Is it?

OK, that was off topic. Back to the topic now.

Hey, does anyone here ever bothered to count how many viruses struck this year?

LMFAO!!!!!!!

If I ever find out just who the spammers are, I wiil do the many things my friends love to do.

1. Throw so many eggs on their houses to the point that they look like as if Humpdy Dumpdy fell on each of them. LOL

2. Wear gloves. Take some doo doo and put'em in a paper bag. Put em on their front doors and lite em up. Knock on the door and see them stomp the bag. LMFAO

3. Prank-knocking. Hehe.

4. Take a PaintBall gun and see their cars turn into a variaty of colors. LOL

5. Move into their neghborhood as their next-door neighbor and have my car's engine roaring like hell in the middle of the night. This will the spammer awake. HEEHeeheeee.

Just joking. Hehe. Or am I?

I think i ahve receved a few hundred e-mails from taht thing... and my dad almost called up Dell Tech support for it. This is how they fix anyproblem, "Ok, you are going to have to format the hard drive."

Formatting your hard drive isn't a bad idea, provided you've done everything else first.  It's a last resort ONLY.

To remove this virus, which is named SoBig.F, go to www.symantec.com and follow the directions in their security response section.  There's a nifty removal tool which will scan your system for the virus.
