I suppose that means that we'll be getting some trash from SobigF's Trojan Horse soon, too?

I got that, including the attachment in one of my mailboxes this morning.  I reported it to myway.com as spam and put a blocker on it. Of course as is my habit, if I don't recognize the sender it goes in the dumper. Incidently the addy was @yahoo.com, which was likely just a remial.

Since it's supposed to start sending mail to everyone in the affected recipients' addressbooks - - and I know I'm in probably 30-35 executives' ABs - - I'm waiting to see what might happen.

Add this to the many other costs that businesses (actually you and me) are paying to deal with MS's ineptitude.

So MS thinks this is going to solve the problem.
