Hi Howard

I have had the same trouble, had these mails in 1's and 2's for a long time and then Thursday night it jumped to 480 from 11pm to 7am and during the day i lost count. Last night 11:30pm to 8am this morning its over 1200 of them, so its getting stronger and about 1000 during the day.

it looks like its mutating as the size of the attachment has now started to vary a bit.

I called my ISP helpdesk yesterday (demon in the UK) and they knew about it but refused to filter out this virus on the server... hmmm, so i have to do it manually via webmail - what a waste of time!!

Lets hope it dies down soon.

cheers

Pete
