Guys

A lot of you are on my contacts list in MS Outlook on my home PC.
The computer has got infected with the above-mentioned virus.
This beast severely hampers the performance of the OS and sends out infected e-mails to contacts.

Any e-mails received from the following addresses (until further notice) should be treated as infected and not opened.

sa2923@eclipse.co.uk
sjv@eclipse.co.uk
britwolf@eclipse.co.uk
simonvickers@eclipse.co.uk
gailvickers@eclipse.co.uk
danielvickers@eclipse.co.uk


My work's e-mail is fine and if I need to contact you I'll try to use this:

simon.vickers@goodrich.com

Sorry about this but I thought it best to let you all know.

Thanks mate - I'll give it a try.
Such is the damage done to the OS, applications run at a snail's pace and pop-up warnings of infection occur about every 30 secs which stop the AntiSpybots scanning.
A real nightmare!

I've got Avast! installed at home (as its free and a professional version) and I'm very impressed with it. I'll see if it has detected anything when I get home.
