Hi all,
I got an email off Scouse earlier regarding an incident last night when someone tried to send him a 'joke' virus.
Please be aware that when your MSN Messenger address is passed around there are certain idiots who search for addresses for no other reason than to cause disruption and pass virusses around.
Luckily for Scouse his anti-virus software caught it before it caused any harm, you may not be so lucky.
There are a couple of excellent free AV software packages in the Freebies forum if you have not already got on, also whilst you are on-line it is also a good idea to have a firewall installed. There are a couple of them also in the Freebies. (AOL users may find that Sygate works better and is easier to install)
"Take care there's bandits out there!"
