While downloading my emails tonight I noticed it was slow and the
stats said I seemed to be sending about 10 times as much data as I was
sending. Yes, I had one of the hundreds of 41K viruses ("message
failure") worms or virus, whatever they were, probably emailing
everyone in sight from my address book.

AVG's removed it now, but if anyone gets one of those emails from me
DON'T open it. Don't even preview it (Outlook Express users turn off
your preview pane...that's how I got caught out)

In some emails, there is an attachment of length 41KB or 42KB, in
other ones, looking at th email properties does not show an
attachment, but the email is 42KB long.

Apologies to anyone affected. I thought I'd learned not to fall for
this by now, luckily the free AVG anti-virus can handle this virus.
