I was getting 200-300 Swen's a day for over a month. I started complaining
for each and every virus that arrived in my mailbox (1800+ complaints in last
10 days) and finally I'm now at the point where I'm getting only 10-20 per
day (for the last 3-4 days). My complaints were well received and resulted
in quite a few people losing their Internet connectivity or at least
smartening up and disinfecting their machines, I'd like to think that my
complaints made a difference.
If anyone here is interested I've posted my scripts for automating the
complaint process at http://www.wehave.net/spam/
