I wish you would like it

I keep getting emails about things like "Here is a new game, etc...wish you would like it".

I use AVG virus protection and Netscape browser, and haven't gotten a virus from these, as Netscape doesn't show any attachments on it. Anybody else get these, and if so, what's the story on them?

They all come from email address's that I've never heard of before.

Yeah, I get the "I wish you would like it" crap every week or so. Just hit Delete.

Hey Jimbeaux,
That's what I do (delete 'em), but was just curious if several others get them as well.

Thanks for the reply.

I've been getting those for years. It's some kind of worm. Delete without opening.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are 3 basic things involved when using the Net.

1. The Internet service provider that you are connected to.

2. The browser that you chose to open with.

3. The email service that you chose to provide you with email.

#3 is what determines what kind of email you recieve. If that service doesn't provide virus protection and filters as to what you recieve as well as the option to tell them what you consider spam, and will filter it out, then I would look for a new email provider.
