My IT person, just recommended using the virus scanner at trend.com ... he
thinks it is about the most up to date right now. I also see tonight that
Mcaffee has a new scan / block for these now.
Good luck...

These viruses are particularly virulent, and my wife's computer got so badly
infected that she has had to reformat her hard drive. A friend's computer
suffered the same fate and this one now takes about 10 attempts to reboot, I
feel
a reformatting coming on...
We have not been opening attachments, and we all had Mc.Afee installed.
I recommend AVG from Grisoft.com, updated at least every 2 days.
Whatever lowlife is doing this should be caught, treated as terrorists and
sent to Iraq instead of those unfortunate guys/gals of ours who are out there
dealing with what they have to day-in, day-out!
mutter, mutter.
