SoBig-F. Learn the name boys and girls. Today I must have gotten several hundred copies of the same virus-infected email.
Or to be more accurate, several hundred copies of the same formerly virus-infected email, since my ISP (www.otenet.gr) automatically removes the infected attachment and replaces it with a standard "Otenet's E-mail Antivirus Service has deleted the original massage, because it contained dangerous code!" note.
Yeah, yeah. Thank you very much Otenet, atleast your clients won't spread the virus further. But would it have been so much of a problem if you were deleting the virus-produced emails in their entirety? So that dozens of these messages weren't cluttering up my inbox every hour?
Mailwasher's back in use for me. I can delete all dozens of virus-emails received with two clicks of the button, yippee. This only slightly reduces the annoyance.
If hell existed I have difficulty imagining that the writers of these things would be located much higher than your average murderer and rapist there. The misery they bring may be far lesser on a per-person basis, but it's also spread to millions of people.
And though I've been an opponent of the death penalty since, like, *ever*, I'd be seriously willing to reconsider it in the case of the people who wrote this thing.
Other note: From what I read in the link I gave, the virus is programmed to self-destruct in September 10 or so. It seems that the people who wrote it, *aren't* out to destroy human civilisation as we know it (aka The Internet) after all.
Still. Off with their heads, I say.
