In this directory you will also find a file liste.ska This is a text
file with a list of the email addresses that the virus sent itself to,
you might like to inform them that you had sent it to them.
You might consider installing an anti-virus system, the AVG system from
www.grisoft.com is free for the US, UK and Africa and works at least as
well as the big names.
