Hi folks,

In the past few weeks, I've been receiving W32 viruses via e-mail, and if it wasn't for NAV, I'd be affected by now. Actually, NAV just quarantined it, and had it deleted afterwards.

Concerned that this will happen again in the near future, how can I stop this sender from sending me the dam viruses? Who do I contact? What would you guys do if you were in my shoes?

Block the e-mail address from where it's coming from. ;)

It's quite likely that the sender doesn't even know they're being sent - the virus is probably auto-sending from their address book. If you have a mail-blocker you should be able to deal with it.

I'm using Outlook Express, so I'll try to block all their e-mail addresses, although the program will just move it to the Deleted Items folder. :(

if it's a legitmate e-mil address, send them a polite e-mail mentioning the issue to them and suggest they should run a full virus scan.

do what greg more says and if he dont reply back just keep deleting them, eventually they will stop

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Recently 10 minutes ago, I got another virus from a CS user, and sent that person a polite e-mail. I'm giving him 48 hours to reply back, otherwise I'd put his e-mail address on block. :mad:

Hi XelA,

Unfortunately this same problem has been occuring with our e-mails. We also use NAV, which has been quarantining it also. We politely e-mailed the addresses we thought were legit, but have heard nothing from anyone yet.

Luckily the e-mail address that we've been receiving the virus on was an e-mail alias that we do not use, and I simply deleted it.

Hope things work out for you!
Kind regards

Yes all you gotta do is send them a poilte message. and here is a tip, dont open any mail that you don't know who it is from ;)
