Nasty virus kept me away, but will report on return - 07/28/01 05:56 AM

Hi everyone!

I've been out of computer action for a while - a FUN-LOVE ( mad mad ) virus has completely taken over my PC.

We're off to Madrid and Cantabria on one week's time and will report on it all when we return.

I'm hoping to get the kids to give some input too.

Luckily I have printed off/saved most of my important documents, but can't get at all the helpful info I have been saving up from yuo all.

Until the end of August - adios.

Now that Jo-Anne is talking about computer viruses, I'll take the change to warn you all about the Sircam Worm. This is a kind of virus that spread itself by sending copies of it to all the e-mail addresses on your addresss book. It is very infectous and that's why it's been considered as a high risk virus at AVERT laboratories (Network Associates).

I have received quite a few copies of it in the past few days (3 copies today) so please, be very careful when opening an attached file you haven't requested and keep your anti-virus software updated.
