I'm getting anywhere between 60 and 100 spam messages every day!
I have set up rules to get rid of them - This has proved effective against

I'm getting loads from "Microsoft" containing viruses (some actually look
quite authentic). My virus checker strips the virus out, but it still
p*sses me off!
