dunno bout u lot but I've been receiving emails containing a wide range of viruses recently.

Received a few from guys off novaload.

They werent sent maliciously but its one of them ones that sends itself to everyone in your address book - seems to be rargetting hotmail users.

Its usually entitles "love you" or "friendship" and its a screen saver.

BE CAREFUL AND CHECK ANY ATTACHMENTS - the virus aparantly is a timer one that can shag yer hard drive.

this has been going on for ages now, its a real pain in the arse.

if any of you get an email supposedly from us (*@novaload.net) then please check the headers to be sure we sent it!

Barnes and Ian have a loverly story about this :agrue:

apparently its the klez virus say for example ade has it his pc will then send mails to an address from his address book, but make it look like its from another address in his book, so when you get a mail from eg micky, micky doesnt have the virus its someone completely different
