make sure your Antivirus program is up to date and run a full C: drive check, hopefully it will pick the virus up and delete it.
If you haven't got an A/V program, try www.grisoft.com, they have a free version which is pretty good

Only just seen this, didnt have a clue about a virus being sent from me.....not only that, it was sent from my BT work address which, as everyone knows, BT spends thousands of pounds every year to protect it's network!
Going to contact the IT department on Monday to let them know, could be quite a big thing.
Apologies to everyone that got hit by this, I honestly didnt know about a virus, it has'nt affected my work account or my home PC, if I had know it contained a virus I would not have sent it.

Tiny,
Just emailing you to apologise about the virused email I sent, the reason you and a few of the other scoobynet folk got it is because I just hit forward to all.... I assume your address' have been stored in my add book when I have received emails from Ross (Kin Quick)!!!
My apologies once again to everyone, didn't realise it contained a Virus, have had no effects on my email account..
If you could post this for me it would be much appreciated..
Regards
Eddie
