    I keep getting Emails in German. They seem to have something to do with Neo-Nazism or something like that. Has anyone else received this crap? Is there anything I can do to keep from receiving it?

    Just received the same thing. It appears to have been sent from a fellow F-Chatter (whom I know personally and am CERTAIN he wouldn't be spreading Neo-Nazi bs) and was actually addressed to another F-Chatter. Seems someone here has a virus that's using addresses saved in his/her address book.

    I got the same thing at my office on Monday, many of them, all sent in German. I hate it when that happens.

    Well, if you guys don't like 'em, I'll just quit sending them to you.

    There was a virus alert sent out about two weeks ago in Asia warning about a new variant of the Netsky bug.

    It usually sends out emails in German and yes, it hijacks your address book and disguises itself as html links etc.

    I get about twenty a day on some of my email accounts.

    I wish these guys will get a life, instead of messing about.
