So far, I've received 10 of those virus emails. "Your details" and "Your application" and stuff like that. (I didn't open any because they scream virus so loud, they're the email equivalent of a Harry Potter howler.)

Yahoo mail rocks, though. 9 out of the 10 virii were sent directly to my bulkmail folder.

Anyone else getting hit with this? My dad got 75 yesterday and 99 today. One of his clients is a computer moron and keeps opening them, so they keep getting sent over and over and over...

I think I got one this morning (or yesterday). And I think Yahoo got rid of the attachment anyways.

I have to agree with you, Yahoo e-mail rocks. :)

I just told my computer guy here at work, I have gotten about 20 so far today in my inbox. I, too, did not open them. It is pretty obvious what they are.

I use yahoo as well and none have hit my regular inbox and I never even look in my bulk mail, I just delete it all.

I've gotten several hundred. :P Most of them were between about 4 and 6 last night. They've definitely trickled off.

Interestingly (and I hope I'm not jinxing myself by saying this!), I haven't gotten a single one to my yahoo account! Not even that I'm getting them and the go to bulk... I don't use bulk... just haven't gotten any.
