POP3 Bombard

zZ
Hi All,

By a mistake I posted a question using one of my real mail addresses. It was
then bombarded in one month by so-called MS Patch (swen32), counted 800-1000
virus mails. Even now it's about 20 virus mails a day.
Is it usual? bad luck, or targeted?

Thanks

I built a POP3 killer, simply delete all mails, but won't work for hot mail.
