This means that I am getting 2k per message, not 150K per message.
The current virus-of-the-week does have well defined subject strings. You
can get a list of them from the analysis on the SARC site. Put them in your
blocking rules and forget about it.

Noah,

The problem with your theory is that you, like me, have a 10MB limit.
I've been
getting 100 per day and I would suspect that if we had 50MB available,
like
Stig, we would see more.

I'm using the Earthlink Spam Blocker, Netscape 7.X junk filter, and Mc
Afee
Online Anti Virus. Even though I am blocking more and more email
addresses
every day, new ones keep coming in. Mc Afee only catches a few and those
don't
even have the "Swen" virus.

What I am getting are returned emails that I never sent and the MS
patches. I
guess there is no way to block the returned emails since they aren't
originating
from my computer.

In order to allow "real" email in, I have been cleaning my inbox from the
office
through Earthlink Webmail. What a huge waste of time that is.

Good luck,
Dan
