Yes, thank you very much, though mercifully it has now been removed from my PC.

Judging by the number of people contributing to the 'Anyone else had tons of e-mail' thread (apologies if title is not entirely correct, but it is late on Friday afternoon), plenty of other people have had some experience of this latest cyber-lurgy.

2legs - Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side...

I've had fifteen Emails to my Talk21 account, all of which, because of the subject lines, and the senders address, looked as if they were virus/whatever infected, deleted 'em all. In Hotmail, one of my accounts had 250 ish junk Emails (the entire Emails I had were all junk), they all got deleted, some may have been infected.... I can't be bothered to check my other hotmail, as it gets a mixture of mainly spam, and some useful Emails I want to recieve smiley - doh I think this virus/worm/whatever is only a problem if you use outlook though? Which I don't use, cause its c*** smiley - erm
