Virus sent to email

lilrebel815 · 03-20-2004, 01:20 PM

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.
