My apologies in advance to some people in here who's addresses are in my address book.

Some tool has sent me a virus and it is automatically going through my book and forwarding itself to people. I dont know what the subject is, or if it will say it is from me, but just delete it.

That's the second time Ben! But I have Nortons now hehehe. Based on the subject (darling) I think it was this worm:

it was from 'mirv'

From Martin's description, it sounds harmless.

I now remember the email I got about 'darling' I deleted it straight away, but I still saw a download screen flash for a second. I'm download the latest virus definitions from Norton as I write this.

mirv is a mate of mine, I'll have to bag him about sending viruses to people he doesn't even know.
