I am glad to hear the most programs are able to stop this nasty bugger.

I am also clear of that virus now, although I received a mail today stating that it was send form a friend of mine and it contained the virus, but my new anti virus software killed it at once

So keep safe end keep your software up to date

Ronny, Kazaa is notorious for spreading viruses. If your daughter absolutely needs to have access to a multimedia sharing program she could try WinMX. This is not to say that it is virus free but from what I hear it is a lot better.

Another note about viruses. They almost always change the sender information so you can't easily tell what mail server/email address actually sent the virus. In fact in about a minute I could send you all emails from "[email protected]".

Cheers,
Jim
