Question:

I HAD 65 E-MAIL MESSAGES THIS MORNING AND 52 OF THEM WERE INFECTED WITH A VIRUS ACCORDING TO NORTON - SEMANTEC! WHY AS I GETTING SO MANY? THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 10 DAYS. THANKS.

Answer:

You might want to ask your ISP if they offer virus filtering on their servers.

TOAST.net (for example) will filter spam and viruses (settings are in the webmail section on their web site), and also provide you with free anti-virus software for as long as you are a customer. You can find information about spam and virus filtering in the Detailed listing for an ISP.

Regarding the emails, probably someone that you know has the virus on their computer and their computer is sending the virus without your friend's knowledge.

These days, the "from" address on a virus email is not the person who is infected - it is an email address that has been stolen from the infected computer's address book in order to confuse the person receiving the virus about where it came from and trick you into opening it. Never open attachments in an email - even from a friend - unless you specifically were expecting to be sent something. .
