Is it just me, or is there a huge infection rate today? Man, I'm getting a little over 1 alert every minute now on my server... tons of ppl sending 'em to my domains. Seems like Netsky.B is the latest one to hit hard.

Anyone else seeing the same thing?

Getting about 20-30/day to my own email account these days. At the office (25 employees) we are seeing about 400-500/day.

Good thing Symantec Client Security stops pretty much everything. I'm reconsidering having everyone at work pop3 into telus for much longer, may setup up a mail server cause its getting so bad :dunno:

haha, man I learned last year, if you wanna battle spam and viruses at the server level, you need a LOT of hardware. I'm running a dual xeon just to handle emails... crazy!

Email servers are the most heavily used. Those things are bombarded with requests!
