For those techies out there, keep an eye out for mail with an attachment annakournikova.jpeg.vbs as this is a worm virus similar to ILOVEYOU from last year.

Not very harmful, but good at trashing mail servers as if forwards itself to everyone in your Outlook address book.

Best plan is to get a decent virus checker and leave it turned ON!

I've been spammed twice in the last fortnight with a tale about Snow White with an attached Joke.EXE - Norton AV has blitzed the file before it has finished downloading from the mailserver!!!

This'll be the warning I posted early tonight...

OK, OK, I was in a hurry! As you might guess from the time of this posting, despite being out a while this one had been missed by our virus software and has made it on to the corporate LAN. Hope you lot are luckier.

I'm not going to write "Oh yeah, that's another reason for using Macs." That would be boring.
Could anyone send me the Anna picture please?

there's a warning out on our Lan to about this one.

- what really amazes me though is how some people continue to be *that stupid* - and open up some unsolicited, succinct and mostly cryptic message - usually from someone they've never heard of, see an attachment - an go and flippin open it - despite these things being well known now - I reckon these virsues should damage the PC more - that way we could get all the haidressers and telephone sanitizers off the Web
