Get rid of the SoBig virus emails?


Recommended Posts

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

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.

I subscribe to Anti Spam service on my isp, it kills the attachment but does not delete the email

So how to i block individually

It will stop spreading on sept 8 right?

check there for a program called NotSoBig

it will login to your POP account and delete everything SoBig related.

Is anyone else suffering the same fate as me??

you think you are suffering?

naw, the picture is what's true suffering is...

(look at the 2nd line from the buttom)yes, that's 211392 emails and mailbox size is 2gigs

btw, for some reason NotSoBig didn't work for me, however this program did http://www.bytegems.com/sobigstopper.shtml

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!
