two topics in one virus + Good site

Hi all,
I would firstly like to warn people (this forum seems best suited to it) a masive email bug known as Blackmal,Mywife, karma Sutra or it's trune name Nyxem.
The virus is an email worm and forwards itself as an attachment in an email. It comes under many things including a forwarded message but the most common form is porn.
My dads email system had picked it up from work and he had some how managed to open this virus which had installed itself on my comp.
It avoids all known anti-virus software and is set on a clock which issues a pay load on the 3rd of every month this month being today february.
My advise is to keep your anti virus software up to date as this has affected over hlaf a million computers world wide.
Symantec have issued a removel tool for this and I would recomend downloading it as by the looks of it has saved my computer.
Blackmal destryos all doc files, ZIP files , RAR files and many other common files. It also trashes your windows registery and stops your anti virus software from downloading updates and working.
Symantec have all the info on the site so if in doubt please visit there although moste people will proably not have it. This is just a warning.

The site I would like to recomend is www.castlecops.com.
Gives a good range of sot ware and hard ware info plus protction against many types of virus and spware.
Hope this is the right place.
Tib

Oh for gods sake, I'll probably just not open attachments from now on. If people wish to send me something, I'll get them to use yousendit.com.

Viruses - Because some people have waaay too much spare time.

I don't open attatchments or even read forwards. They get deleted immediately.
