Just checked hard drive space and seems pretty normal...
How do I check for things 'activated on today's date' (presumably yesterdays now?)

I do soooo hope you are right Mr Skinty......




(erm...just a thought...why do we pay for virus protection again??????...thought it woz supposed to prevent this sort of thing!!)

Mr_Skint_2

The main problem is curiosity, some PC users will open an infected email
even when theyve been told no too, also virus programs are updated soon after
a virus alert as virus stopping companies cant forsee what code will be used
to produce a new strain of virus, thus a few get through...
