It sounds like the work of the Klez worm and if so, the person you are blaming is not sending these things, but his computer is because he made the mistake of opening an attachment sent to him. I initially did the same thing you are in blaming a person instead of their computer. After weeks of being inundated with these e-mails, they've finally slowed down to only an occssional one in my in-box, but for several weeks, there were several a day. They began showing up in my mailbox after it found it's way into one of the private surname lists through yahoo.com who does not have a virus filter like RootsWeb does. Fortunately for me, the first one had a subject line that clued me in to something being wrong with it, but many of them don't, and this worm will start sending e-mails "from" you as well even though your computer isn't infected, but it has your address from someone else's computer. There's a "fix" for this at the Symantec site where you can check to see if you have it. I've run that several times to make sure that I don't have this thing. As far as I know, there's absolutely nothing you can do about the e-mail you're receiving, each with a small zipped attachment, and each subject line and attachment with different names stolen from the files of infected computers, except to simply delete them and NEVER download the attachments. One of these e-mails I received even claimed the attachment was a fix for the worm! --Wilene << Date: Tue, 04 Jun 2002 23:46:48 -0400 From: Karen Holt <holtke@bellsouth.net> To: HOLT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HOLT-L] Attachments Thanks everyone for the replies! I have been receiving email from this person with infected files attached. I have asked this person to stop and have filed a complaint with their IP, but with no success. I think one of the first times I became aware of this person was from an email from this list. Some of the emails I have received had 'genealogy' content, but not Holt related and were really off the wall. I just want to get rid of this guy and was hoping someone could help!!! Karen >>
