TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I have neither left the list nor have I changed my email address.
First, apologies to Eric for starting such a lengthy OT discussion (and to
list members for whom this was an irrelevant or unwanted thread).
As a few people pointed out, the issue was not with my firewall or virus
protection, but somebody else's who happens to have my email address in
their book.
This (last) post on the subject, at least from me, is to let others know
what the solution was. David Neely pointed me towards the SpamBayes plug in
for Outlook. It learns as it goes, and within 3 hours of having it
installed, I was down to getting 3 or 4 of the emails per hour. This
morning, there were no emails (from the worm) in my inbox, but 160 were in
my junk mail folder.
For those interested, the plug in is available at
www.sourceforge.com/projects/spambayes
