"Microsoft udates via email"....

Yep I have had over 30 today.

Four? I've had 79 since noon.

Yeah, me too. Very unusual. I get a few a day but I've never had this
much crap in my inbox. It happened after signing it to Yahoo though
that's probably a coincidence.....(?)

WEll it just ticked over 1Million....

Any ideas what the count is of? infected users/emails sent?

I had 200-plus Microsoft "security patch" emails containing viruses
delivered to my inbox last night alone. Any one know how this happens?

authenticity (or lack thereof) for people not as
intelligent as yourself.

IIWY I'd read some of his recent posts before making such a comment.

Yes I've had over 100 of the bastards sent, they just keep on filling up
my inbox... NAV reports them as W32.Gibe.B@mm. Good thing that I use
Mozilla

Yep I have had over 30 today.

Today I got 496 before my ISP finally agreed to filter out the stuff server
side.

Hi Zan,
I'm one of those lucky ones getting this spam attack. I contacted my
ISP (Comcast), and they claimed they had no tools to stop this. I am
curious what kind of tools your ISP has and how selective they can be in
stopping this stuff. Since the messages come from many different
addresses, with different subject lines, how can your ISP distinguish
them
from your normal email messages?

I just keep deleting the things ( for instance, while I am now reading ngs,
I am downloading and deleting this junk) in hope that soon the internet
honchos or maybe God with solve this little problem.
