Hi All

 

There appears to be a virus doing the rounds in the sharechat group at the moment - a variant of the Melissa virus.  While fairly harmless it can cause problems to Word templates etc.  Gets in through a hole in the Microsoft Outlook stable of programmes - there is a patch available to fix the hole (A Bill Gate's Straw?? - handy for buckets also) directly from Microsoft Update.  A good virus checker will also get it (provided you don't turn it off to speed up database type programmes like I did).
