Hi All: In the last 2 hours, connected to Earthlink here in Spokane, I have
received 27 emails, all with a 100kb attachment. I do not open them, just
look at properties and message source. Is this a new virus going around? and
is anybody else experiencing this? Also, subject usually is "new
screensaver", "details" "approved"

Sounds like the SoBig virus, or a variant of it. It's been around a few
months, but does seem to be doing the rounds again at the moment.
