Gisele,
I'd report your old e-mail address to Comcast. Most internet service providers that support e-mail have an "abuse" mail address for doing just that. In your case, I'd send to "
[email protected]" and to "abuse@..." whatever your new Comcast domain name is (Comcast.com?).
Everyone,
I've been getting a raft of strange e-mail myself, and a lot of it is "invalid address" bounce-type messages from places unknown with the original message containing an attachment that was deleted because it tripped a virus detector. What kind of stuff are you seeing?
This gives the phrase "opening a can of worms" a whole new meaning, doesn't it?
Shameless plug for one's own employer: Computer Associates, in cooperation with Microsoft, is offering it's
eTrust EZ Armor desktop security suite to "qualified Windows users." I'm not sure what the details are, but you can get them at:
http://www3.ca.com/press/PressRelease.asp?CID=54677 As an employee of Computer Associates, I automatically get
eTrust EZ Armor for free, so that's what I use at home. If you want my opinion of it, send me a private message.
Shameless plug for someone else's service: I use a "disposable e-mail address" service, Spamex.com, as a hedge against spam. It doesn't totally eliminate spam, but it does allow you to figure out who leaked your e-mail address, and to shut down the address that's getting spam. Again, if you want my opinion or any of the details about Spamex.com, send me a private message.
