Some info on e-mail, spam, and viruses - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The emails infected with the SoBig worm usually have one of these subject lines: RE: That Movie RE:Thank You RE:Wicked Screensaver RE:Your Details or RE: Your Application. Never open any of those emails! I've got loads of them(my inbox is full of spam now...), but haven't got the virus because I'd been warned about the subject lines, and also I never open attachments if I don't know what it is.
The worm is supposed to self-destruct on September 10 I think, but there'll probably come another, more aggressive version of it the next day.
