Hi everyone,

I'm very embarrassed to say that I managed to pick up a computer virus from somewhere which went undetected for a few days. My computer is now clean (as is this message), but it looks like the virus might have got into my address book and sent out e-mails (entitled 'Then, over and over again') with an infected .exe attachment ('forms.exe') before I found out about it. If you have received such a message from me and opened it (the virus can only infect the computer if you open the attachment), it's possible that your computer has been infected with the following virus:

PE.MAGISTR.B

This virus is potentially very damaging, but can be cleaned using virus software. The latest version of VET is able to identify this virus and clean it.

I'm very sorry about this. I hope you've all managed to escape the three hours I've just spent cleaning my computer. 

Emma.
