I'm getting e-mails out the wahzooo here and each one that
norton is catching is a different type of virus each time.

Sure, they repeat themselves, but the bigger issue here is
someone or somone's is generating this and it basically
appears to me that it's more of a blitz attack and not just
one specific virus.

The e-mail address's are varations as well, also like they
are being randomly generated as to not get a specific fix
on location to track the source.

Given how clever the human mind can being when applied to
take advantage of all the flaws with the internet and
security holes in both hardware and software, maybe someone
realized that bogging down the internet as whole is only a
minor inconvience in service, when it's fair easier just to
bog down the individual systems that access the internet.

On another note, the clever human beings that create
programs should be able to find this, those or them other
clever human beings and put a stop to this mickey mouse BS
already.
