microsoft emails

[jeremy west]

Hey...

Recently I have been recieving emails claiming to be from
microsoft security, inet security and all toher possible
comibnations claiming to be emailing me the latest
security patch.

I know these emails contain virus's but they are extremly
annoying, exspecially when you are getting 20-40 per day
in your email!!!
Is there any possible way to stop these emails?

Thanks...

Jeremy

Fix what problem? The one where folks, or in this case a virus is
spoofing an address and sending emails? Theres nothing they can do about
that. The one where people love to install anything that they get in an
email and then go "oops, maybe that was a bad thing", there's also
nothing they can do about that.

They've issued warnings about these and other real or hoax incidents but
people either don't seem to be reading them or just don't use common
sense so they still get into trouble.

How do you suggest that ms fix this problem?

I am very happy that I have successfully stopped all these hellheads
coming to my hotmail account.Look at other posts in this newsgroup
from T O M M Y , to see how I was teased.

I do not know if your mail account has got such a filter, but in
hotmail go to Options>filters>Custom filters. Then block e-mails with
the "Microsoft" or/and "update" in the "From name". This works fine,
since Microsoft doesn't send updates via e-mails. Also ,to avoid
blockage of other e-mails from those senders you trust , put their
addresses in the "never block e-mails from theses people".
All I have done has successfully worked till now.

Yes. Unplug your computer and leave it unplugged.
