Well I had to change my email address because of all the
virus Microsoft ones I had been receiving. I had not
received any since doing it.

That is until I posted on this forum with my email
address. The very next day I started getting them again.

You guys need to do something about this, until then i
will continue using the anonymous email addresses.....

Let me see... YOU posted YOUR OWN email address to a PUBLIC newsgroup and
you expect US to do something about it? God save us from the novice who
thinks he knows what he's doing....

Greetings --

It's been well known for years now that posting/publishing a real
email address to _any_ newsgroup or web site is an open initiation to
be spammed. For years now, spammers have been using automated tools
to harvest email addresses from Usenet. What I don't understand is
why you're just now noticing the phenomenon.

You're receiving these emails because your email address is in
the address book of someone infected with a worm, and/or because _you_
posted your real email address somewhere on-line, either in a forum
accessible to the public and spambots, such as Usenet, or on an
untrustworthy web site that subsequently sold your address as part of
a mailing list.
