Anybody have a really good way of dealing with these? I use
Mailwasher, and it's showing its limitations...

Does anyone know how to block any message with an attachment on
Yahoo? I know of other ISPs that offer that. It has enough
variations that I ran up against my limit of filters.


Oh, I could tell you. I remain remarkably unaffected..


BTW, where's that apology?

I don't want make insinuations, but you could be part of the
problem. I think I was. Windows has a whole slew of new patches
and security updates that fix this thing. Download them from:

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp


BTW, double posting is a sign of a possible virus.

It's easy to fix, fortunately. Viv just has to set fire to
his/her/its hard drive.

I do it at least twice a day. I just go to the c: prompt in DOS and
select C:/format Works like a charm.


I hope you remember to wipe the disk 500 times with PGP after
formatting (and after deleting PGP, of course).


Oh, I go one better and stick a big magnet next to the HD.

After deleting PGP, of course.
