This "Sobig" virus is causing me nightmares at work with all the bounced

messages.

I have moved all of my pop3 accounts to Hotmail, then I pull existing 
accounts like robin@robinf.com	in with auto-forward.

Hotmail keeps the virus off my computer and has a half decent spam
blocker.

I had to sign up for the 10MB account which was £20 for a year, but I
would 
rather be protected than get hit by a virus. It sounds like an advert
for 
microsoft, but it works for me.

I then let through lists like gzg and block all the 40+ junk messages I
get 
each day.

If only life were simpler, back when I played wargames and had no access
to 
the internet. Take me back to 1989!
