Received Virus

Adria #1 / 5	Received Virus Hi; I received a virus from a microsoft.com mail account and I've tried to look for a means to report this but cannot find the right place to send the information to. The closest thing to "report" or "abuse" I've been able to find pertains to "hotmail" and it's not a hotmail address. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

x y #3 / 5	Received Virus I doubt the virus really came from microsoft. Viruses like Klez forge the FROM: field on an email, it is extremely easy to do. I find it pretty useless to try to research or report where a virus came from. You may be able to determine the real domain that sent it by looking at the SMTP headers within the email, using instructions from www.samspade.org or www.google.com ... but don't expect it to lead anywhere, this is mainly for your own amu{filter}t.

dcdo #5 / 5	Received Virus To do that you will need to go get the complete source O.E. File \| Properties \| Details tab \| Message Source \| right click \| Select All \| Right click \| Copy (close it) start a New Message, click the message body, right click \| Paste Choose File \| Save so you have this in your Drafts folder If you see where the mail came from teh number is their (most likely) I.P. address.. Highlight it, open your browser to www.SamSpade.org and paste teh IP addres in it to reverse look up the ISP it was sent through. When it runs this down... like Verio.com subject line HELP I am being bombarded with SPAM. They will send you a message from an Auto Responder. In the case of Verio, I had to complain that I had a heart problem adn any further SPAM from them would probably cause me irrepairable harm. They did contact me then. as you can see, this is complete learning curve. Tip: Never "Unsubscribe", 99% of those use your email to know you have a "warm" email addres adn they sell it. Yes, it is their second revenue source. It's what they call a good business plan, and growing the company, and a host of other things, In fact, they are worse than Larry Flint. don ================= where the xxxxx.xxx is the isp from the email address.
