Does anyone know what I can do to block these "SoBig" messages on Yahoo e-mail? I swear, not five minutes goes by without me getting another message from this shitty virus. Yahoo has a 4MB limit to storage, so if I leave the damn thing for more than two hours, it's always overloaded. And Yahoo has mentioned NOTHING on their mail website on how to take care of it.
I ran my computer through a SoBig virus check, and it says that it's not infected. What should I do?
I'M GETTING IMPATIENT AND I WANT HELP NOW >:

If they're coming from only a couple of addresses (like mine did), you should block the addresses. You also might be able to create a folder where all your mail gets filtered into it. Then you could just delete the file contents. If nothing else, you should probably contact customer service. :/

It sounds more like spam than a virus. Listen to numbers guy - how can you not trust that girl in his avatar? :love

if each message has the same text in the subject, you can use the message filters to put them automatically in the trash folder :/

I tried the filter option and that didn't work, either.
