Heads up!

If you get a random email from me, it's probably a virus.

Don't open the attachment or click on the link or whatever it is.

I did. What a bugger.

Ugh, those things are so irritating. My friend's email account has been like, seriously infected by them. We get like, three emails a day of those spam things :(

Is there a way to get rid of them/it?

I just increase my security settings/filters to the highest degree, and most of it goes to spam (if people are sending it to me) and I think it may also help with the sending of the spam?

I can't see where to change that. :/

Gmail itself is pretty good for blocking spam etc - I just had a quick look but couldn't find anything - but maybe try searching/looking at their help/FAQ section?

I know that when my hotmail account started doing this crap, I had to edit the settings.
