I have spam filters on and the majority of the junk mail goes into my spam folder for deleting later.However lately I'm having tons of stuff some of which is finding it's way into my mail box.Not a problem as such I know what it is and it doesn't get opened.
In the last few days though I've had literally hundreds from rav send-mail concerning a virus (W32 Beagle).What are these.I'm not going to open them but who's sending them. Can I stop it?  ?

Hi Tango Bunny,
Have you put up your email address on a website lately? That's how the W32 Beagle virus spreads. It locates emails addresses on websites and sends itself out to them. Is your email address setup on your own server or on a free one like Hotmail or Yahoo? --------------------    Things that I don't suck at: Photography (flickr, JPG Mag), "Don't bail; the best gold is at the bottom of barrels of crap!" -Randy Pausch I have people-skills goddamnit!

Only recive e-mail through AOL .I have a website that has my e-mail addy on it but that's not a recent thing I've had it for a couple of years.The only thing I can think of is I applied for a members card for SOL melia hotels via the sol website and it's happened since then.Do u think it could be that.The only other thing may be e-bay??

James, if that is your main email, you are now showing it to anyone who visits this site, and has a look at this topic. you should not make your email public, that is how you get all these bad things hope this helps you -------------------- REGARDS

Bots crawl these pages so either put up an email like this QUOTE me_at_hotmail.com or, as some do, like thisQUOTE me_DELETE_THIS@hotmail.com Tango Bunny, do you have the direct link to the page where you sent your details? It's possible that the virus got released to their list of members, but you'd have to contact them and confirm this. We got a similar thing when a virus got sent to the entire list of undergrads in the University. -------------------- Things that I don't suck at: Photography (flickr, JPG Mag), "Don't bail; the best gold is at the bottom of barrels of crap!" -Randy Pausch I have people-skills goddamnit!
