There is a major net attack in progress. The Swen worm can bug even
well-protected computers, since the payload arrives as a 106 kB email attachment. If your mailbox has a 10 MB capacity, then all you need is 90+, and you admin will automatically start bouncing ALL your incoming mail. In effect, a Denial of Service fringe benefit for the worm. In addition to trying to look like an official MS announcement, the worm is also arriving in the form of a fake notice of undeliverable email. Don't investigate ANY attachments unless you want to live very dangerously. Ed WB6WSN "J. McLaughlin" wrote in message ... YES. MB worth. So many that E-mail drive was filled on Friday. Just received five in a five minute period. Not hard to trap, however they are quite a pain. Have yet to get ISP to block them. Good luck. Mac N8TT -- J.
