Who's getting these following (or similar
) e-mails and how do I stop them from evading my e-mail:

"Hi! How are you?

I send you this file in order to have your advice

See you later. Thanks"

I'm getting 50 of those per day with different senders and I want it to stop.

Yeah, I've been getting those for over a week. I check my email every 2 hours and I get about 20-25 in that short of time.

I haven't opened any of the attachments, so my laptop isn't infected. But still it's annoying as crap deleting 100-200 emails per day.

i always check how the file is called...

lucky me, but it still sucks to get all those mails, in the beginning 2 daily, now it's up to 7-12...

i hope it stops soon.

Yeah, the latest thing... not withstanding the normal virus emails... is getting a "Viral Warning" in spanish which includes the virus attachment, states it has been infected and asks me not to reply.

After getting the virus attachments, both in english and spanish the last week, I let out a good chuckle after reading that the first time. Not I get that email once for every 20 normal virii.

I know a lot of you guys are just getting hit with this, so I empathize, but I've been getting it for a week now and easily over 200 per day. It's annoying as hell, but I've become more accustomed I guess than those just getting hit.
