Angry W32/sobig Virus

Anybody else getting these mass mailing bugs ?? There starting to really REALLY REALLY **** ME OFF !!!!! Every time I check my mail theres a bunch more . I have blocked well over 100 and Im still getting them . Mcfee kills em if I open it but cant stop them from mailing me a million times
A while ago I got these idiots mailing me a crap load of virus filled messages so I saved em up and sent em all back all at once !! Im going to do that with all these Im collecting . . . . I hate computer nerds who make viruses they should all be shot . . . .

End of Rant

Anybody else getting pissed off by sobig ?? Ive been getting these for about a week . I dont know why the stupid companys cant filter these users out . Can you report addresses . MAILER_DEAMON is a *** !!!

Now end of Rant !!

blocking the email address doesn't work.

The Virus spoofs one of the email address it finds in the infected computers address list.

That way you can't mail the person and tell them that they have a virus.

Update : Im waiting to here back from tech support at telus . I sent them the info and the ip's from those jack asses so we will se what happens . I told them I didnt want to receive anything from any of that companys ip's .

Anyways , those of you that are plagued with this virus here is what to do to get the Ip .

Left click the mail

Click properties

Select the details tab

Click the message source button

Follow these steps listed here to grab the " REAL " Ip address
http://antivirus.about.com/library/weekly/aa081903e.htm

Type that Ip address in the box marked " do stuff " HERE
http://antivirus.about.com/gi/dynami...//samspade.org

and dig around until you find the assmunch . It gives very good info and back tracks the ip .

If your looking just to block the mails , actually blocking the address doesnt work . As stated above the sobig virus makes up its own and there always changing . What you can do is go to the "TOOLS" tab in "OUTLOOK EXPRESS" and scroll down to " MESSAGE RULES " and the "BLOCK SENDERS LIST " tab

Once that box is opened , click the "MAIL RULES" tab and make your own rules for filtering this **** out . The sobig virus uses the same basic

"application"
"Movie"
"wicked Screensaver" etc over and over and over . So building rules using the "WHERE THE SUBJECT LINE CONTAINS A SPACIFIC WORD " and " DELETE " as the tasks and use the key words " wicked screensaver " etc as the trigger . Its pretty easy and this has worked 100 % againsed sobig for me I even use it to stop a bunch of other junk mail that just keeps coming . Be carefull not to use comon words in the mesage filter or you may never get any mails
