Do they ever give up?

Quote from one of about 50 emails i recieved like it (over the course of last week)

Klez.H is the most common world-wide spreading worm.It's very dangerous by corrupting your files.

Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it.

We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus.

You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC

There was a 47K attachement. Sometimes it comes as an SCR file, sometimes as an EXE. Do these people really think we're going to run them?:rolleyes:

I've been getting tons and tons of them. The messages range from free porn to the "love screensaver". Some people need lives:rolleyes:

I...I wasn't supposed to open them? **** beans...

Once again, my anti-social nature defeats the latest advances in technology, and the latest attempts at social engineering.

Im probably in 4 or 5 people's email address books across the world. Heck, I had to go and ASK for someone to send me a copy of that ILOVEYOU(is that right?) thing...

The messages quoted above are correct in noting that Klez is a common worm which is currently spreading and infecting computers world-wide, but they contain no "immunity tools" that will protect your PC from Klez. Far from it: in classic "trojan horse" fashion, these messages (bearing a subject line of "Worm Klez.E Immunity") are disguises that trick unsuspecting users into executing their attachments -- attachments which don't protect against the Klez virus but actually spread it.

I have found a way to stop all spam e-mails immediately!!!

Honestly...

You'll have to pay visit our forums to find out though... cause i'm not posting it here.

It seriously works, and there are no virus-riddled downloads and no come-back from who ever it is!

By law... A person or persons cannot release any information (personal of otherwise) unless given strict permission by the user(s). For instance...

I used to have hundreds of e-mails from 'Save More 5??25', which was a real pain... as the 'from' address kept changing. When the address is different each time, blocking them is difficult. Since sending my e-mail... i haven't heard anything else for weeks!

This is certainly not a con! We have finally beaten SPAM for good! :)

Regards,

Paul.

i have a solution that i'll post here... don't have e-mail... i use IM for everything, and a hotmail account that only a few select people know to recieve pertinent information when im not online... its easier that way

I just find a couple of keywords in a message, and turn on delete message from server... works a treat.

You would be amazed to know how many people will actually believe it.

Know what? Yesterday I received an envelope from overseas. When I opened it, I fould an invitation to participate a lottery in Germany, backed by the government. It said the lottery was guaranteed by 10 ministers of the German states (whatever that means) and if I bought 10 tickets, I was guaranteed at least 3 wins, and the way the lottery was run I could actually win on 8 to 9 tickets.....

Whatever. It was for some Naumann lottery. They have even credited my account by 5 Euro.

I was just about to accept it, till I realized I had to pay them 180 Euro or US$ 180 first. :rolleyes:

Guess I shall just tell them to use their own money, and if I do win, keep the US$ 180 to them and send me the rest. :)

.

True...the fact that I get about 10 of those emails every day shows that people open them...:rolleyes:

I don't know if the bug has harmful effects...but its entirely possible.

The only people who send me emails are the VBF and GalahTech emailer. There my best friends. :D

I've been using Mailwasher for a few months now and my spam input has reduced from a couple of hundred emails a day to les than 10. Hopefully this will eventually drop to even less.

I heartily recommend it - although it is banner ware, it is very unobtrusive and a small registration fee will remove it (as little as $3).

It allows you to block spam at the server, so you never have to download it and additionally bounces the mail so that the spammer is inclined to remove you from their list.

I have a user that I have taken everything away from because she (or her stupidity) is a threat to my network. Falls for every scam there is...

Check the MIME headers, and block the IP address. Simple as that.
