The worm infects computers using Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating systems, though other computers were affected by network slowdowns and a flood of bogus messages.

I asked him to forward them to me so I could look at them. He actually hesitated before doing so (he uses Outlook, not Express) because he said he wouldn't trust Microsoft to forward them without opening and running things in them. Heh.
"Thank you sir! May I have another?!"
Of course, this is the first piece of Spam I've gotten for months, so I guess I'm just spoiled
"Hey you know why we code named the next version of Windows 'Longhorn' right?"

One statement comes to mind regarding how Microsoft treats it's Windows user base:
"Thank you sir! May I have another?!"

Russian anti-virus specialist Kaspersky Labs has identified a variant of MyDoom, the worm that has been spreading through the Internet at a furious pace since Monday.
The variant, which Kaspersky has labelled MyDoom.b, has a slightly larger payload compared with MyDoom.a and targets Microsoft Corp. for a denial-of-service attack to be launched starting on Feb. 1, instead of The SCO Group Inc. The worm features minor modifications to the text of the e-mail that carries it, but is otherwise identical to the original.
enjoy!

At its peek we were handling over 100,000 extra virus-infected emails per day! (Average mail volume including spam is around 40,000 messages/day). That's 70%
Our mailserver has generally not had a back-log of mail of more than 5 minutes, even at peak load. However, he has received mail delayed elsewhere for many hours. AOL mail can be delayed for over a day.
Sounds like it's really taking a toll. I wonder what Sunday will bring...
school has been verry slow two - running a backbone fiber connection from sprint (all local schools and community colleges share a HUGE fiber pipe on a wan (or 2 or 3))
How did I get one from my email address? I use Mac OS 9.2.2, so the virus shouldn't be able to send mail from my computer, right? Or I am screwed since I use Microsoft's Outlook Express?
Sorry for the stupid question.
(Just got another one, make that 29!)
