I understand from an article that was on CNN that this sobig virus is
due to run out it's life on Sept. 10th. That has been all that I have
heard on the issue. True??, anyone's guess...

Could someone tell me if this cycle will ever end without changing my
email
address? I am deleting all the messages concerning the virus without
opening
them. Will that help at all? What happens to those of us that can't
change
their email addresses?
Thank you,
Susan Hays
>>No, the virus copies your e-mail address from someones address book
and
spoofs it onto virus messages so that it looks like it is coming from
you. That person's ISP catches it and returns it or their virus program
does.
