I have been receiving 8-10 viruses a day. Is there someone I should turning this into or forewarding these to. Norton so far has cought them and quarenteened them.

My guess is it's the Klez worm as it is the most common currently, Keep your DAT file current and your virus protection turned on. I'm amazed if I day goes by and I don't get a few.

I was recieving several a day, which were being caught by my virus program, so no damage. It was still very irritating. One day I happened to notice that one of the sent from addresses was a good customer. I checked all the ones I recieved that day, and sure enough, they had all been customers.
I sent them all emails, explaining what was happening, and giving them the URL for a free email virus protection. I had many letters of thanks, and apology. My virus laden emails are now almost non-existent. If I do get one, I send the same letter to the return email address.
Maybe, if we let people know that they have a hidden worm, these worms can be made into an endangered species!

Most virus' spoof the address that they are coming from. They take a random email address from the address book of an infected computer and appear to come from that address, they rarely do. I receive countless virus' per day as I am in many address books out there, all are caught before they infect my system yet I receive many legit emails such as yours informing me that my computer has sent a virus which it has not.
