Who didn't scan his computer !?

I keep receiving emails with a virus attachment !
I've received more than 100 today

My computer is not infected, I keep my scanner up to date, but this is real annoyance since my mailbox keeps getting flooded

Please everybody check if you're infected or not.

I'm almost sure it must be somebody of the MSX community because there are multiple receivers mentioned, a lot of them known MSX collectors, MSX.org visitors, etc.

So please, all check up

Thanks

My daily spam comes from a former company account I still check.. usually, it's regular companies who have these emails, so even the big companies don't check..

btw.. getting a PIF or SCR is not harmfull, but running it is Everytime you get spam, you know that probably some sheep thought: "Hey, cool, a screensaver !! ... for ME ?? WOW, let's see!"

I didn't get any virusmails. But then again, I never subscribe to stuff or leave my mailaddress anywhere. When needed I use a special spamaddress which does receive mail but throws away all mails after 24hours.
Or I have too less friends, or I'm coping with the spam/virus situation pretty well...

MAN! I am receving an INCREDIBLE number of infected virus in my email! One mail by each 5 minutes!

(The body of the message try to imitate an message from Microsoft indicating an urgent update to the Windows, and give the link to it... A well made lie... The one you guys are receiving is the same???)

Getting one of those mails every 0.96 minutes, at the moment.... THIS SUCKS BADLY!

Everyone running that M$ OS: please double check!
