And before I head off to the gym, I thought I'd just vent my spleen a bit more.

There's apparently a new virus/worm/trojan/whatever-you-wanna-call-it doing the rounds. And before the usual suspects start having a go at Windows users, how about changing the tune and having a go at the people who deserve it. Namely the users who can't be bothered to take even simple precautions...
Mmmmkay?
The last time I had a virus/worm/whatever was back in '99, and that was due to being drunk. Remember kids, drinking while computing is dangerous, don't do it...

And while I'm on the subject...
I have to wonder whether I'm a social leper, or I only know people who know how to avoid virii and the like, 'cos when ever there's one of these outbreaks, I never seem to get more than one or two of these e-mails. Hmmm...

Audio and video files are safe arent they? as far as I've been told the only way a virus can enter your system is if you install it from a data file or an eamil link? is that true?

Well, yes they are, but some virii masquerade as audio and video files, so you still need to be careful and make sure your anti-virus software is updated.

Yep, it updated this morning. Thanks for the info anyway :)
