>>it's the biggest Outlook virus on the InternetIt's not just you, it's everyone. It's called Sobrig.F, and
Please don't include me in this. There are some of us that are inherently immune to this rubbish.
Well, no, I can't. Because most email viruses these days affect people who aren't infected by them, by inflicting reputational damage when they forge sender addresses.
I use a combination of Mutt (UNIX) and Mozilla Mail (everywhere else), so I'm just as immune to Outlook viruses as you are... But I've still received over 100 messages from boneheaded antivirus firewall filters in the last 24 hours telling me that I'm infected by Sobrig.F (because some buttwipe who has been infected has been sending messages forged in my name!).
At the risk of labouring the point, I can only re-iterate that Windoze users don't _have_ to use Outlook. There _are_ other choices. The individual just has to act.
Here's a good place to start:

Even has a built-in Baysian spam filter. How could you go wrong?
