Damn annoying emails....any1 else getting it?

[JoeKing]

For the last few days I've been receiving emails exactly like this.



<< Hi! How are you?

I send you this file in order to have your advice

See you later. Thanks
>>



and attached to these emails are 100k to 500k files. Usually a bat or xls file.

The subject lines as well as the sender changes every time. (server sent from changes almost everytime as well)

I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiancing such annoying spams. I'm thinking it's probably another email virus of some sort, however since I'm only on a dialup and I receive about 10 of these everyday it's getting damn annoying. Also the diffring file sizes are confusing me since usually an email viruses file size remains the same.

Any input would be well welcome. Thanks.
