ot can someone offer help on pc

hi all
can someone out there who maybe had it happen to them.instrut me on
how to stop- getting the microsoft security patch emails and error
replys

 

The emails are NOT from Microsoft - they NEVER email patches. They're
either a virus or a trojan horse program. NEVER install any "patch"
allegedly emailled to you from MS.

 

If your e-mail browser has a filter feature, set up a couple of filters
to not download it from your ISP's server.

I have Entourage and have used it extensively until I started getting the
spam and virus Emails. It took forever to download the Email with the 146K
attachments, although I never opened the attachments. I stopped using the
Entourage and went right to Earthlink, my ISP. The Email went there first,
and then downloaded onto my hard disk when I selected to download mail
through Entourage. At the Earthlink site, the Email does not download onto
the hard drive, and Earthlink has a virus eliminator to filter out the virus
in Emails so that they are only 1K. Go to your ISP that handles your Email
online and don't open your Email Program anymore until this spam and virus
thing passes. Eventually the one who created this spam thing will be caught
and heavily fined and put in jail for awhile.

 

I hope so.

Until recently I had received only one of these so-called MS updates and
seen more posted to the auto groups, but now I get them several times a day.

In fact, up to about a month ago I received only about 10 spam e-mail msgs a
day, but suddently this rose sharply and now I might get 150 a day, so most
are filtered by my Outlook Express. This 'paradigm shift' seems to have
coincided with a new e-mail redirection I set up from a domain I had
previously bought but not used for e-mail, but it's probably coincidence.

The real problem arises when I wish to read my e-mails on my PDA, downloaded
via a mobile phone. The filters don't work (I am in touch with the
programme supplier about a possible solution) and, although the message
length is limited, the phone call can still last 10 mins or more longer than
it should, quite an expense when I am roaming internationally { esp in the
US, whose phone providers charge extortionate amounts to call the UK...
;-( }.

It's appalling.

I read somewhere that there are only about 200 sources of 'severe' spam and
they are mostly known, and they are mostly in the US and Congress won't pass
a law permitting their prosecution. The counter-lobby argues that such a
law may infringe the freedom to advertise...
