    S.O.S. Being threatened by virus!

    For the past month, I have been receiving numerous and annoying e-mails. I never opened any of the attachments and looked it up last night in the virus info. I believe it to be the SircamWorm virus. For now, I believe my computer is safe since I have not opened the attachments which is what triggers the infection. My virus scanning is not detecting any problems. However, I do not know how to stop these e-mails from coming. Does anyone know how to stop them?

    In Outlook Express go to Tools>Message Rules>Mail and add the address(es) to the Blocked Senders List. I'd also recommend that you get a good AV program like Norton Antivirus 2001, it will filter out any infected emails automatically.
