advice please

Post by teaaememy »

I am having a little trouble with msn. I keep receiving emails from the same user with viruses attached to every email. Its to the point I don't see how they would expect me to open their emails.
I went through the whole process of reporting them to msn. They have the auto respond and with my first report they responded right away to tell me I sent the wrong info :rolleyes: so I do everything they ask and resend information. Then I get no response other than the auto response that tells you they will follow up. Well so far nothing. In the mean time I am repeatedly getting emails from this user. Is there much more I can do? I have sent every email I have received to msn with a little reminder that this isn't my first complaint about this user.
Oh btw a little 411. I was thinking maybe it was my best friends boyfriend the guy that hacked our computers last year. But then I found out that he left her for another woman and the next day was killed in a motor cycle accident. The luck!

Hey thanks for the info. The only problem I have with that is its a different virus every time. I had read that one of the viruses did spread using your address book just as it says. But what about the other viruses that keep coming from the same user?

Is it always from the same email address? Or do the different emails have slight variations in the email address?

seems like you use Juno?..

I don't know how their e-mail client works, but it should have something on there for filtering..
you could prolly set-up a filter to discard every e-mail coming from that e-mail add.
