Is anyone else getting myriad emails from various supposedly "Microsoft Product Update" and endless permutations thereof?

I'm wondering whether the faceless virus-peddling monkey morons of the world are targeting my email, or whether everyone's getting it.

Nope got 4 already today

I've had about 50. It's very boring!

Why don't these total f-knuckles find something worthwhile to do. Oh sorry, I forgot, they're the people's cruisaders, working on our behalf to keep the big corporate monsters honest. Barf! Pass the bucket!

They're just short, fat, bald, 30-yr old virgins, who wouldn't know a good bit of social-interaction / physical-exercise / philanthropic-activity / decent-thought if it bit them on their soft little arses.

(Not that I'm cross, or anything ...)

Yes, the more popular you are the more you will get them... :-)

What's wrong with 30 year old virgins?

Spammers should be sentenced to 30 days of solitary confinement with the same 30 second used car lot ad playing in a loop in their cell 24 hours a day.

That's inhumane torture! Lethal injection would be a kinder punishment.

I sort my incoming Emails by size.  This batch are all between 144k and 156k bytes and nothing else is.  So then I can select and delete.  I had a couple of hundred over the weekend to clear this morning.

Cheers

I have received close to 40 megs worth of those little boogers in about a week and a half. You are not alone.
