Hi everyone, this virus is going BESERK on the motorbike
lists, mainly "moms and pops" type people who use their
new computer like a consumer. Most using MS Outlook.
:o(

I expect this to be BIG NEWS in a few days, it has to get
the media's attention soon.

Also a warning re the info above, there is gossip that
the virus picks VALID EMAIL SUBJECTS FROM YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.
That is why it's going beserk, people who you have emailed
re a topic might get emailed back by the virus with the
same subject listed. VERY nasty.

I notice James has been silent and the list has been slow,
anyone guessing the poor guy's going crazy chasing viruses??
:o)
