Okay, another few hundred copies of sobig today. Tell me…is this thing just living on it’s own out in the wild now, feeding on nuts and berries and drinking water out of puddles, or are there still a whole pack of mouth-breathers out there who haven’t heard the news that there IS no screensaver, that “That Movie” isn’t really a movie, and that nobody is actually thanking you for anything. Seriously, we’re a month into this now, I personally know people who have received TENS OF THOUSANDS of copies, and just when it slows a little, there’s a banner day like today.
Also – I would really appreciate it if ISPs (including my own, for goodness sake) would turn off the auto-notification that a received email contained a virus. People, I did NOT send out all those emails. Do NOT send an autoreply to a forged header saying that my system might be infected. Do you understand that you are ADDING TO THE PROBLEM? I’m getting 40 tons of crap email a day now, and if 10 percent of the crap is from ISPs being pro-active, that’s 10% too much. They KNOW the headers are forged. I’m begging my ISP – check the logs. I’m not sending any messages with those titles. Stop threatening to tell my ISP on me! You ARE my ISP!
p.s Can someone please tell me how to get Microsoft’s .net messenger OFF of my system? I don’t want it, I don’t use it. And now on a daily basis it launches itself to tell me I need an important upgrade. Yet, there’s nothing listed anywhere for me to uninstall this beast. I’m getting Mighty cranky about this.
