At the risk of being shot down for advertising, I'll say: I use Lace 2000. To
me, having tried the others, I find this the easiest to use - because of the

If you really want a challenge, why not try making lace with your pillow in

Always look up the specific virus on the web before you do anything else -
this looks like a virus hoax, and they can have you deleting important files
