The last couple of weeks i recieve 2 emails on my ....@msgplus.net every day with the W32.Netsky.P@mm virus norton intercepts them but now it's getting kinda anoying.
I also have 3 others e-mail adresses running on outlook and those doesn't do that so it's not a virus on my pc. an btw i reformatted my pc 2 weeks ago and this is going on much longer.

could be a fake... there programs that can make it look like someone is inside your e-mail account and sending you the msg
just another stupid thing

There isn't much that you can except running an updated antivirus and don't open e-mails from people you don't know or don't trust.
I had this a while ago too, it has nothing to do with the @msgplus.net server. Appearently a lot of people have your e-mailadress stored and the virus is being send to all e-mailadresses it can find.

I had the same exact problem today...but I use Hotmail...there are loads of programs that make it look like its being sent from one address when in fact it is not...if there wasn't spamming would be cut down in seconds...

Im also getting these type of emails that say "Your email could not be received to blah@blah.blah"
It has some more text there and it also has an attachment.
If i open the attachment it has a virus.
I rarely get these emails...

I recieve +-20 of those Netsky-mails a day on my msgplus email.
(of course my email is in my sig, so that's pretty public and hence the large amount of emails I recieve) Nothing can be done. Replying to those emails is useless because the from-field is spoofed. The only thing you can do is filter them out with the buildin spamfilters of your emailclient or use a 3rd party spamfilter (which does exactly the same actualy).
Of course it would be great of the administrators of the msgplus mailserver could filter them out at the server, so we don't even recieve them anymore...
