Okay, I’ve got it; you hate Bill Gates, cool, buy a fucking iMac. I and other “micro” (figurative and literal) users were ground to a damned halt by this virus. My machine wasn’t even infected but…yesterday I recieved over 1,200 infected emails. Normally I receive about 30 legitimate messages. Mr./Ms. SoBig.f think about what you did, YOU, not Microsoft, not big government, not small government; YOU cost me and a whole lot of other small businesses an entire day of productivity that we can’t afford to lose. If you don’t have anything better to do than use your warped genius for evil, then do what I do, take a God Damned nap and leave the rest of us the fuck alone.

I Thank the SDMB for having patience with my rant. SoBig.f Asswipe, crawl into a hole (preferably your own anal pore) and stay there for a very long time, please.

So change ISP’s to one that screens you from viruses. I haven’t received one Sobig.f email this week. Not one.

What do these emails look like? I haven’t gotten any. (At least not that I know of.) I have an email account that I only pick up on my PC (long story—my “main” computer is a Mac), so maybe that will get this thing, I dunno.
