These viruses are particularly virulent, and my wife's computer got so badly 
infected that she has had to reformat her hard drive. A friend's computer 
suffered the same fate and this one now takes about 10 attempts to reboot, I 
feel 
a reformatting coming on... 
We have not been opening attachments, and we all had Mc.Afee installed. 
I recommend AVG from Grisoft.com, updated at least every 2 days.

Whatever lowlife is doing this should be caught, treated as terrorists and 
sent to Iraq instead of those unfortunate guys/gals of ours who are out there 
dealing with what they have to day-in, day-out!

mutter, mutter.
