This is getting out of hand. I had over 900 spam in the spam trap last night. This morning and today the latest virus variants show up. :(

People make sure you have virus protection and keep it updated. I created a new rule on the mailserver to quarantene all attachments that can contain an M$ executable or a zip file. This saved us from viruses that are not on the "virus definition file"

If you use M$ outlook express turn off preview pane. Preview pane is a good way to help spreading viruses :( :(

You're right, truning off the preview pane is most important step #2 behind step #1: ACTIVELY running a first class anti-virus solution that is update at minimum once per day....

Yet almost as many people run the preview pane as those that don't have A-V

How do you turn off the preview pane?

In outlook express you have to click on "View", "Layout" and uncheck "Show preview pane"
