trenzterra Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 I use Outlook Express, it there a way to filter through SoBig virus emails? I keep getting them every single minute and they clog up to about a thousand every day! Help! Is there a way to filter them? Also, I heard it stops spreading on September 8. Is this true? I hope it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivion Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 If your getting SoBig virus emails from a specific address, you can ban that address by creating a rule in outlook express otherwise you can also use third party filtering software which could be used as addon's for outlook express. I hope your antivirus scans your incoming & out going emails ?? that should protect you as well, provided it's totally updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farquaon Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 I receive about ~ 500 mails a day as a result from this damn virus. I cleaned the system out with NAV and still the **** comes back and forth. Well, cant wait for its self destruction. Would teach me not to open unknown mails. Dumb me!
