Ah yes the fun and games of using Norton to manage my email. I could do that. This virus is tricky. It always changes so you can't filter on it. Having Norton go through it, scan it, recognize it, delete it, is going to cost me. I mean maybe I'm an old do it urselfer, but I just hate these anti virus programs, much rather do it myself. What I hate is the stuff that loads and stays resident, not to mention the time it takes booting up, extra time loading programs, etc. Plus, I've had some bad experiences in the past with these programs being more trouble than they save, like locking up your computer, having to turn them off when installing something or your computer's nuked, etc. The thing is too, I'm a Petunnia in an onion patch here in Japan. But it's obvious they aren't filtering well at all, and where you are likely they are filtering well. I tell you one thing though, if this continues, I will have to install Norton and scan all my email. It won't help keep my mailbox empty, but it will do some of the manual purging and sorting that I now do. Anyway, I appreciate the help, and I'm glad to hear this blight is not affecting everyone as it is me.
