    Help me with this bloody virus

    Right, aobuut 2 months ago? when W32.Netsky.C@mm was released I started getting annoying virus ridden spam, sometimes upto 2 mails a day. As I use yahoo for my emails, I cant download them (wich I wouldnt anyway) so I couldnt have got infected like that, thats if I am infected.

    So, I assumed someone with the virus has my email address on there outlook address book, that would explain everything yes?

    today I got this, which I assume is a reply to a message using a faked address, which happens to be mine.
    Antigen for Exchange found mails.zip->mails.txt.exe infected with
    VIRUS=
    I-Worm.NetSky.c (Kaspersky,Sophos,Norman) worm.
    The message is currently Purged. The message, "I 've found your
    bill!", was
    sent from ******@yahoo.com and was discovered in IMC Queues\Inbound
    located at AutoTrader Publications/AutoTrader Systems South
    West/NEWL0010.
    from antigen_newl0010@autotrader.co.uk

    So anything I can do to get rid of it, block it, etc.. ?

    I hate stuff like that. I have been getting those ever since MyDoom.

    Spam filter is the best way to ignore it - there's no easy way to track it unfortunately.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
