must remember to give receptionist a good telling off when she gets back

maybe you should deal with the virus updates instead

Our users have autoupdate automatically configured. Basically, the advantage is that if they don't want updates, they have to re-configure it manually. Most people don't bother.

I firmly believe if an ip address is sending out viruii then that person's internet should be cut off and then be sent an email......oh hang on.... I spot a flaw :pp

Ive had these emails to, but they are to a account that only ever gets used for spam, the email account that i use with all my mates does not get attacked, both are @ntlworld.com, my suspicision is that the infected computer found my address from a spamm message to all ntlusers and thats how im geting the emails, i belive your attacker has suffered a similar fate, hence why you cant think of who he/she is

Just to update on this - the e-mails from this IP stopped a few days after I reported them to NTL. This may be coincidence, but I doubt it - I had been getting them for a while when I finally got fed up and reported them.

Glad the problem has subsided M8.

Out of interest, did ntl actually reply to your email Pem?

I used the web reporting form (you get an auto message back from the abuse e-mail address telling you to do this) - and no, they never contacted me back to say they were taking any action.

You'd better not let Neil catch you posting an infected computer's IP address :pp
