anyone else getting daily e-mail viruses?

i just read an online article about the multitude of new viruses out there & how there are competitions between virus-writers. Now I understand why I've been getting netsky and bagle viruses every day.

The new version of Bagle, Bagle.K, is also spreading, in part because of its convincing e-mail message. The text of a Bagle.K-infected e-mail indicates the recipient has a virus -- and it appears to come from the support staff of the recipient's company. The text can read: "Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content) outgoing from your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe, follow the instructions." Recipients are then urged to click on a link to clean up their infected computer -- and if they do, they are duped into infecting themselves with Bagle.K.
