It's effective. I've posted specific instructions for dealing with ILOVEYOU using this filter at http://www.bookofirc.com/iloveyou/ (this will probably be only a temporary location) - there is much more general information, as well as other useful tools on John Hardin's own site (http://www.wolfenet.com/~jhardin/). By the way, I estimate the percentage of users receiving it here (before I brought the filter out ye olde t00lz closet) as over 2% (some received it multiple times), which is a helluva lot when you take the snowball effect into account and know it's going to get worse before it gets better. hth -ac -- ============================================================== Alex Charalabidis (AC8139) 5050 Poplar Ave, Ste 170 Systems Administrator Memphis, TN 38157 WebNet Memphis (901) 432 6000 Author, The Book of IRC http://www.bookofirc.com/ ============================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
