Hello Experts,
I have OE6 and IE6 on Win98SE.
I have suddenly began to receive lots of viral emails since last night. I
have received 2.78 MB of virus infected mails. Although my AV is deleting
all viruses from incoming mails but they are piling up my mail quota and
monthly quota to receive MB's.
The message body of viral mail is:

I have set a rule for not downloading any suspicious mails from the server
but OE is still downloading the suspicious messages.
The virus name detected by AV is always same and that is Worm.Automat.AHB.
Any ideas about if these mails are going to end after a specific period? Can
it be a time bomb type thing?
I am suspicious maybe my address has been exposed to the virus sender
through MS NG's. Any ideas?
Thank you,
