My work is still getting them along with onez stating that we have sent customers virus' that came back lol. Not to mention one of our call centres got majorly hit with a virus and they had to shut it down (still down). We're all backed up because they had manual orders the retards mailed 'em out to his express lmao. I got the joy of keying those into the system and calling all our RUDE customers lol. yay! lol And 2 of the computers I was on today had that Microsoft virus that shuts ur pc down every minute lol.

Try turning off/disabling the messenger service, located in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> Messenger.

I have only received 1 infected email from someone i didn't know. Lucky, i guess...
