Sobig.F hits big.

The Sobig.F worm is hitting massively. My inbox. While we have all shields up at newtelligence for virus-protection, a bunch of people who have my email in their contacts obviously don't. Since yesterday evening I had to clean out at least 300-400 mails from my inbox that were generated by the worm. By average, I am currently getting a (formerly, pre-scan) infected email every 4-5 minutes. It's f***ing annoying.

Same here. Deleted hundreds of them - including bounces of mails which used my email address as a faked sender. At the "best" time, I received 4 mails a minute.

I'm now receiving about 100 SoBig's an hour in my old-timey Compuserve mailbox. This account (and its earlier numeric verison) has been in the wild for about 10 years.

I am having the exact same problem, except that I didn't check my email yesterday, so it was hundreds of Sobig's to clean this morning (incredibly annoying when one has to clean them through alerts one email at the time).
