    what has become of virii-programmers. tststs, all those so called leet-scriptkiddies, they don't even try to hide it. I just received this mail from a stranger, and I quote:

    Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm.It's very dangerous by corrupting your files.
    Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it.
    We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus.
    You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC.
    NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it.
    If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'.
    If you have any question,please mail to me.


    *sigh* what has become of them... :cries: :miffed: :grr: :blah:

    If you have Outlook Express you want Mailwasher http://www.mailwasher.net/

    It will check your POP3 accounts for you and give a summary of all the emails you have received - you can then make a fake "bounce" email for spammers, block domains permanently, delete viruses.

    Anyone who's got a website in the UK will probably have had some spam from www.trafficmagnet.net - they are now on the banned list in my mailwasher ;)

    Give it a go

    I found it far slower than just downloading and deleting, and the bounced stuff nearly always resulted in an extra "can't deliver" mail.

    I also use a rule, if ± (alt-0177) present in Subject, delete on server, which at least kills the Korean ones.
