Evil Virused Brazilian Spam E-mails


I keep on recieving Evil Virused Brazilian Spam E-mails (henceforth refered to as EVBSE). They are being sent by various addresses. They ususally tout either porn, something to buy, or just 'Click here to see the webcam'. I have recieved everything from Save the Children fund to porn. For months, I have been recieving one or two daily.

However, all this month, EVERY SINGLE EVBSE HAS HAD A VIRUS! They all link to either .exe or .vrs.scr (sp?) files. One auto-opened, Norton caught it. I was trying to delete another with it auto opened, prompting me whether I wanted to download the .vrs.scr. I did not, ran Norton, found, and deleted PWSteal.Tarno.C.

Is there anything I can do to stop these e-mails?

Change your adress. If you don't want to then there is some spam blocking software for email clients, such as Outlook. But if you're using webbased email like hotmail, there is pretty much nothing you can do.

I like my fucking address. It is run via my dad's website. I'll look at spam blocking shit.

And I am going to hackthissite.org and learning how to fight back against these assholes.

If not, I call the FBI. Yes, I am serious.

I actually found a virus, debugged it, found an email embedded inside (basically it was going to email my info to this address) and sent the virus writer a very nasty letter. In fact, I still have the virus. I wonder if I could send it to him and get him to open it...
