something strange with laptop, continued spam message

F

frustrated

I've modded the http to h**p on the message below. I use Nod32 (always
update daily), TDS-3 (updated daily), never IE (I prefer Firebird) and use
the old Agent and Thunderbird as email clients.

This morning Nod32 cought that new worm going around (now forget the name
but it's one of three names this sucker has) and immediately deleted it as
it is supposed to do. However every time I open Thunderbird I get a
message saying "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure that
the filesystem allows you write privileges or you have enough disk space to
copy the mailbox."

Now this sounds WRONG to me and I get the feeling that it's the damn worm
that has infiltrated somehow. I use Kerio with sponges *strict* settings,
NOD32, run AdAware and Spybot regularly as well as keep them updated.
Haven't run hijack this (forget the url for it as know that it has to be a
new copy. I also have something from TDS calls Registry Protect that
alarms me when something is written to the registry. Oh, and I'm running
XP- Pro with service pack 1. (Have another with windoze 2k and a new Mac
powerbook g4 which is almost after this about to become my main machine.

Can anyone give me some advice on this strange email and why I've gotten it
about 40 times in a row now despite the Baysean (sp?) filters on
Thunderbird? I'm getting a bit sick of this crappola.

Paranoid, of course.

Some people hate this remailer so badly that, for example, they did not hesitate to celebrate the death of 148 French tourists in a plane crash.
Those people seceded from the human race, so don't hesitate to report them directly to the police.
