Create an email folder named "virus" or just about anything you want and create a message rule so that all the phony messages go in that folder when you download your mail. You can also create a message rule so that any email messages from the specific sender will be automatically deleted. Go to tools and look for a message rules option.

I completed the full scan with both MSE and SAS. SAS found two items that appear to be cookies "scan.mediascout.com" and another one called "secure.imrworldwide.org" I believe the second was .org possibly though it could have been .com. If it is pertinent then i can retrieve it because I saved the two that it found. MSE did not find anything. I figured that would be the results with MSE because it is running all the time anyways. Can that email be placed on the block list and still allow my professor's emails to come through as they should? As far as I know with the bogus email's address being hidden I have no way of comparing the two addresses. If there is a way to unhide it then please let me know.
