1. Virus problem with Topica?
Recently I've been flooded with the hoax emails that have subjects
dealing with security patches from MS, undeliverable mail, etc. There's
usually an attachment in the form of an .exe. I'm certain these are
viruses and don't know where they're coming from all of a sudden.
Anyone else on this list having similar experiences?

Yes, it's a virus so don't open these mails ! ! !
They seems comming from Microsoft but they don't, they are contaminated ! !
So put them in trash, and do an update of your antivirus soft !

Yes. Its probably because our email addresses are stored in the email archive,
which is searchable via the web. That lets spammers find us more easily.
(Don't know about a virus using the web to collect emails, tho.)
I'm getting ready to change email addresses again. (I do this every time
I get spammed rather than install a spam guard like a normal person, due to my
irrational fear of false positives.)
