This has greatly disrupted their business. Yeah; I'm surprised there are so few anti-spam laws on the books to protect email in the same way facsimile and cellular phones are protected. Until we have some method of enforcing legal restraint, one is left using the various RBLs and filters. Spamassassin good. Using an RBL or two at the incoming email server is good too. > As this is greatly disrupting businesses, both by the Korean spam > e-mails and the Klez virus, what is the best method for removing the > virus, formatting their hard drives on the personal PCs? What about > on the network drives? I'm not sure about removing klez. Of course a format will do the job, but it can be a bit drastic. Perhaps the lesson to learn once it _is_ removed is that there are mail clients that are more resistent to virii than outlook or outlook express. Many of us used some of them for years. :) Pegasus, Eudora, Netscape Communicator, maybe Opera has one now, I don't know.. But I think people should have learned by now that some mail clients should be avoided -- if for no other reason than their significant financial costs once every four months.
