Over the weekend I have received over 25 to 30 emails telling me that they
were updates for Microsoft. Most of the emails came in under different
subject lines and different email address, none of them were being sent
directly to my address they appeared to be being sent to an email list.
Only a few had the same IP's of where they were being sent from but most
were different. I blocked all of the attachments but I am still receiving
the emails telling me that they are updates.

I was quite aware of this hoax/virus being sent around the net and I never
accepted any of the attachments, but is there away to stop this email all
together?

I just finished telling one of my fellow workers that if this does not stop
by tomorrow I will involve the RCMP and have them come and take a look at
the emails and see if they can do anything with them.
