Thread Name: BS: BadTrans_B Virus
Subject: RE: BS: BadTrans_B Virus
Two days ago I sat down in front of my computer and before I could take a breath I found over 70 messages from my provider warning me of the virus infected email which had attacked my address book and every website, and addresses within I think, in my favourites list. Norton completely missed it the first time, in spite of being updated only 15 days before, but caught the subsequent virus returned to me from somewhere it was sent. Completely messed up my day, though I did hear from some folks I hadn't heard from in a long while. The kicker is that I didn't have to do anything more than go online, the virus did the rest. You computer savvy folks know about these things I guess, but it feels like a real intrusion.

Peace, and sorry if anyone got it from me!

Mooh.
