Hello,
I have been recieving viruses sent to my email account for about 2 days now. All the email say one word and have an attchment with them. On every email it shows that all of the attchments have exactly the same virus on them. I have 15 of these emails. Where can i report these?

Is it coming from one address? That would be amazingly stupid of the sender, but if it is, report it to their ISP.
I've had friends send me emails with a virus, but it was a virus in their system that was doing it. I didn't report them to their ISP, but informed them so they could get rid of it.

Just delete them i guess. Can't really block the sender if it keeps coming from different addys.

There are programs like Mail Box Filter that can catch and put it in the trash before you even see it in your email.
There are some states that have places to forward those emails so they can investigate them, but most of them are for abuse like Spam.
Other than the preventive measures, I don't know if there is a place to report emails which contain a virus.

Well i cant download it in yahoo anyway. I changed my email and had everything from my INBOX forwarded all these virus emails were put into my BULK mail. So i hope this works. Thanks everyone. Now i just hope noone who sends me anything gets into my bulk. L0l. bye

If you have Outlook or Eudoria on your computer, they can check for web-based email and bring it to your computer. Couple that with Norton's ability to check for incoming virii, and Norton can make the attachment or email inoperable. Add a filter rule to your email program and all that is sent to the trash or deleted before you even see it. Voila!
Good luck!
