Hotmail Viruses

[Jimbob1989]

Recently hotmail has been full of viruses. There is a kind of virus which sends itself to your friends using the address book but what are the addresses stored as. Just wondering because my inbox recieved about 30 in a few weeks. Seems to have stopped now.

i have not heard of them. do you have like a screen shot of an email? maybe some one who doesn't have hotmail has gotten one or somthing. I have hotmail (through the msn program) and i haven't gotten any!

The emails are very simple and the viruses are very simple. The email sender is lot of different people, some of who I know, others I dont. The subject is short. One line, shuch as "important bill". There are viruses that work out who is in your phone book then emails a virus to all them addresses so it appears it is coming from a trusted source.
