Virus emails from big@boss.com

I keep getting email with virus attachments from an unkown email address (big@boss.com). My virus checker finds them Ok before they are opened but they are very annoying. How can I stop these? I'm getting about 4 a day!

I'm using Windows Me and Outlook Express 6.

 

You're probably not the only one. I would forward it to your ISP, tech support, abuse, ie. But, it maybe a forged header. You should track the ISP its coming from and forward it back to their abuse section also.

 

Thanks but how do I track the ISP its coming from?

 

Tracking Spam

To view the complete header. Without opening the mail, right click on it, select properties. Then the detail tab. Gives all the header info..

 

big@boss.com = sobig virus

The address big@boss.com is part of the signature of the Sobig virus. Here's what Symantec has to say about it:

This won't stop the emails from coming, but it's nice to have a name for it.
