Yeh, the cable guy came by today and hooked me up. I get online and get my work email working.... First 7 emails are viruses... to my work email no less... At least my private emails are filtered through a spam blocker and i'll probably never see them...

Here at my office we run a 150 User exchange server, and blocked at least 200 instances of this yesterday (Our mail goes through about 3 different checks before being delivered to user)

I've stopped counting after the first hour of it. If I were to guess I'd say I've received a few thousand copies of it. :
