hi, richarddower I have been receiving this email from
(e-mail address removed) for a long time which has had a virus in it. My
anti-virus has detected it and cleaned it but it seems that you are unable
to keep your computer clean from this virus. I'm starting to get a little
tired of getting viruses from your computer and/or email address. If you do
not clean your system soon, your ISP (Internet Service Providor) will be
contacted and told about how your computer has been mailing me viruses for
weeks. If it comes to this, your ISP will most likely shut down your
internet until the issue can be resolved. If you want to avoid this, I have
included a patch that you can run on your computer that will clean your
system of this virus. It is very easy to use and does not require any
computer knowledge. So if you want to avoid having futher problems, i
suggest you run the attached file (configh.exe) to clean your system.
thanks, Walt

The email had no attached file, so i assume Hotmail removed it. Was kinda a
weird email...but i'll block this one also. My virus defs are upto date and
i have done two full scans, clean.

Thanks

Moderately creative for virus spam. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

If they put half as much effort into worthwhile things they could probably
cure cancer and end world hunger in a month.

Would you believe their email announcement of it?
