This is the 1st week I have not had one virus sent to me. Usually I avg about 10/wk. Which is not that many compared to some.

I get about 25-30 of these a week. Thank God for Norton. Zaps the virus in the attachment before it's sent to me.
Even though I never open attachments.

I do not use outlook as a mail client.
I use a web-based mail service only.
I am getting fewer of these this week than last.
It was 2 0r 3 a day last week, only 2 or 3 total this week.
Some are messages with infected attachements.
Some are 'send' errors from various postmasters
rejecting mail that was spoofed w/ me as the sender.
I suspect somebody w/ the virus has my email address in their address book.
I tried warning my contacts, but most of them are not very computer savy,
and most of them just respond w/ a ?huh?.

If you are talking about the virus that tells me that my domain is sending out unsafe mail, I get bombed about forty times a day.

We see a few hundred a day on my work network, but we have a pretty robust gateway antivirus and firewall solution so nothing gets through. This is actually down from when MyDoom hit the internet we would see several thousand hits everyday of that virus :)

I have been getting spammed all week. One email that was sent to me has my address but with a 3D in front, how can this get to me if it has the wrong email address?

I have been getting the microsoft "patch" thing from russia 2-3 times a day - driving me nuts as I get almost no spam.

No. You probably wrote it.

I have had at least four hits today from this virus. McAFee is catching them, but it is an issue.

Another item that I am having tons of problems with is "Port Scans". My Firewall is logging the activity, but it is more than I can make reports on to the ISP(s). I have several hundred in the past two days alone.

We had a bunch of these coming from some charter.net customers. Charter finally took some of them offline. I haven't got a single one so far this week.
I run Linux, so I don't have to worry about 'em. But they clog up the inbox anyway, and I report every one of them.
To: Redcloak
I have had about a dozen of these over the last couple of weeks and I run Linux!!!
At least 6 were Netsky-p the rest I am not sure.

Norton does a great job on it. Be sure to update at least once a week.

I've never gotten a virus. What is usually in the subject line, or the headers? I guess I've been lucky.

Today I was notified that I had several "bagel" viruses - thank you Cox for keeping them out of my desktop.
