First of .. personally I haven't had problems with my mailbox getting filled with mails because of this virus, probably because of a simple mailfilter setting

But then I have noticed that something have changed over these last days .. I'm hardly receiving any spam this week!

Usually I receive some 5-10 mails a day .. this week I've gotten 1 or 2 Smile

I think it must be because the mailboxes spammers use are being bombed as a result of Sobig.F and then they can't use them .. doesn't that seem resonable

i think you will find that the reason is not because of the virus but because of some spammer in nz i beleive recently quit after his name went public and he started receiving lots of abusive emails.

Alot of people have commented on the reduced amount of spam.

I very much doubt if any virus would ever reduce the amount of spam you get. I think the virus makers would be a little smarter than that.
