spam

[Herb]

My yahoo mailbox (bulk mail) has been getting constant e-
mails from Microsoft Security Alert. After reading the
first one, which looked like a ligitimat message from
Microsoft I've been getting tons of them. I called
Microsoft and they don't seem to care that someone is
mimic their logo and sending out messages that are spam.
How do I get rid of this? I am tired of these messages
loading up my mailbox capacity. Also, I really don't
understand why Microsoft doesn't care to do anything about
this.

Microsoft does care, it's just that there's nothing they can do about it.
It's the result of one of the viruses that are out there at the moment.
Hopefully the author will be found and prosecuted, but until the virus is
irradicated, you're pretty much stuck with it (unless Yahoo decides to
delete virus-infected e-mails).
