open question
has anyone been plagued by massive junk mail in their hotmail accounts from nepali sounding @hotmail.com addresses with 300k+ attachments and the 'subject' part in some european language, methinks italian or spanish..
i keep on blocking these but every day i get 2 new @hotmail addresses send me these emails and they always push me over the damn account limit
anyone has this happen to them?
is anyone out there sending them to ƒuck with other's accounts?
anyone know anything about this?

Guys try this.
When you log into your email, go to Options, then under the Mail handling, first click on Junk mail filter and select on Exclusive and click on OK, then, go back (only one time) under the same Mail handling, now click on Junk Mail Deletion and select Immediate Deletion and click on OK. But be careful that if you haven't reigster your incoming emails of your love ones, it will also go to junk mail and they will be deleted immideately. Therefore, first, select all your incoming emails. This applies to all hotmail and msn.
Hope this should help
good luck

Hey guys,
That's a virus that transfers via msn contacts, kazaa etc. It is a very strong virus that tries to eliminate anti-virus files in the computer. Once your computer gets affected by this virus, you can not shut down your computer. I accidently opened one of such emails and it took more than 3 hrs for my literati guru to get rid of it; it multiplies rapidly.
Fortunately or unfortunately, i have 143 people in my msn contact list and everytime I check my email thesedays, my hotmail account is "critical" [each file is 318KB and just 6 files are enough to exceed the hotmail 2MB limit]. And now I started getting emails from other nepali sounding names! This sucks!
Thanks Akash for the idea.
Good luck.

akash, we do not always necessarily receive e-mails from loved ones only. What about an e-mail from a friend who just got a new address or any other e-mail from a sender who is not registered in our safe list and which also not a junk e-mail ?

damn that virus is a heck of a problem. i never opened the attachment cuz my antivirus detected it. i hate those worms. the last time i got the w32.exe virus. i had to delete each and every exe files. i wanted to beat the shit out of the person who sent me the virus. however one my frens got the virus cuz he opened the attachment with sth said in spanish. he thought it was some sexy pics from a fren of his.. i guess it serves him right. never be a pervert.
