Anyone who is on the 'owner-students2002' mailing list should virus check their computers.

Norton has intercepted 4 copies of the virus to my daughter so far.

36639 2002-02-22 09:46:00 So does the University of Otago.

The name of the virus is ITStaff-unscrupulous.spam.W32

and is the bane of my existence.

Some smart prat sold many university email addresses to spammers. Within one week I went from no spam to 30 messages a day. I never use my uni email except for uni messages. IT helpdesks' solution?

Use filters in outlook!!!! And it seems I am just one of hundreds affected.

B*st*rds!
