Al, I tried Mail washer and it was worthless. Most of the time the return address was not valid and it couldn't bounce the message. Actually, bouncing these messages will only add to the problem. I have my email addresses set to discard any of these with one of the three sentences this vir*s uses, but the other ones still get through.
