Urgent virus warning
TO anyone that has had email communication with me since the beginning of June (IE lots !)
Thanks to DocM, I've just found out that my system(s) have been infected with the Kak worm virus. This appears to be a macro virus that (luckily) doesn't carry a heavy payload. I have a virus scanner permanently on, but it's default settings don't appear to scan for macros - needless to say that has now been fixed.
So please scan your systems with the latest signature files to make sure that you aren't spreading the little b*stard too. My apologies to all, I do try and run a tidy system to prevent these kind of problems.
