Help please

Hi there.

Ever since I posted a question here back in September and
foolishly listed our home email address, I have been
getting several emails every day from "Microsoft"
indicating they are attaching a "critical patch." My
husband, an engineer at Intel, said they are bogus and
did a virus scan on the attachment, and indicated it's
infected. So we have been shift+deleting them, but it's
really starting to get annoying. The quantity that we
get every day seems to be growing.

Is there anything we can do to stop them? Are these
actually from MS and, if so, what can we do to get off
the list? Can my original post back in Sept be deleted,
and would that help?

Please respond if you have any suggestions.
Jill

1. Use rules wizard to automatically remove them from your in-box.
2. Too late, your address is already known and added to their database
(spammers).
3. Microsoft NEVER sends executables in e-mail.
