email pest
 

I apologise for my laziness in advance if this is already covered somewhere - feel free to move it - but is anyone else getting a barrowload of junk email with stupid short lines like "this is foolish" - "this is bad" etc. with zip attachments? It is not a virus on my system, and it is only happening with my ntl: email addresses. ( I have a number of other email addys and do not get them there).
Cheers! :D

Sounds like an email virus trying to get on your system, there's a lot of them about at the moment.

I'm afraid you'll just have to delete them, or set up a rule or filter to do it for you.

And it goes without saying don't even think of opening one of the attachments.

Not something I'm plagued by at the moment, but I agree with the others, it does sound like virus activity. Somebody, somewhere has an infected machine that's sending these things out. It has happened to me in the past, and the return email addy is always bogus. Just delete anything you're even remotely suspicious about.
