CNN Spams...

I'm getting a load of these as well. The actual emails do not contain any virus as such, but any links will lead you to a malware site for a trojan downloader.

Best thing to do is set up a filtering rule to delete these emails. Or like me, get an email address for anything your not sure of and an email address for people you trust. I frequent quite a few forums (a google for walesrob will confirm this!) and I use a "disposable" email address from Fastmail, so I can kill the email address if it gets spammed.

I started to get these as well. At first it was just one a day, now it's 5 or 6 and the senders address is always different, so I set up a rule so that if "CNN Alerts" is in either the header or the body of the email they will be deleted.

If you get these emails, don't, whatever you do, click on the link in the email which says click on the link to be removed from the mailing list, as this will only result in more junk mail from the same source

Thanks I've just set up a rule to move anything with CNN in the subject to " Junk eMail" - it is really annoying the amount of this garbage that gets through

I've just started getting a new but similar spam to the CNN one. This one says it's from MSNBC Breaking News. I had 2 yesterday and 1 already today.

You have a packet waiting?

The CNN one change a bit: "CNN Alerts: Breaking news".
My anti-spam is filtering all...
