The only way to stop it from coming is to remove your email address from every computer it is stored on. It's impossible. I dealt with this real bad some time ago. The virus emails everyone's email address that is stored on a infected computer. It randomly pics one of the email address as the reply address. Thus it's hard to tell who's computer actually sent it. These punks that write these viruses should be castorated using a butter knife.

Hell yeah, chop 'em off. Most of these viruses really do nothing to your computer, except send themselves around. Just the aggravation of getting rid of it.

Beer Smurf is on the right track about ditching all the microsoft products. I was running Opera 7 and Eudora for a long time but finally got sick of the lack of compatibility on websites (Mainly ebay) and had to switch back to IE.

Dirtcrasher, there really isn't anything you can do to block it. Howdy is correct on how it works, the script (virus) randomly picks an email address to use as the return. I've got some that said they were from me when I know they weren't. Someone who had my address in their book got infected and I got sent a copy of it along with everyone else in their address book. Get a GOOD antivirus program, ALWAYS keep it updated, and have it scheduled to do complete full system scans no longer then once a week. I have mine set to scan everymorning at 3:00AM while I'm asleep. Norton is about the best I've found, the only thing that sucks is the subscription thing. But as far as I'm concerned, if your going to have a computer at all, you MUST have a good anti virus program. And also check for windows updates often also. Most of these viruses work off security holes that have updates for them, but no one installs them.
