I just watched the news I never saw anything on there about a virus which no software can stop causing havock on computeres across the world. I wonder why not oh yeah! Read this

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/virtual.card.for.you.html

If it was as destructive as it says in that mail the first place you would read about it is not in a forwarded mail it would be thelead story on every news bulletin.

Viruses are a pain in the arse and a lot of it is not helped by people who don't bother to update their virus scanner etc. Or worse still don't have one. You should always have a firewall and virus scanner on your system.
:eek:
