Thanks for that
A good way to check your computer is to go to http://housecall.antivirus.com
It has a free scan facility on it. The ISPs have been slow to filter the
virus and other anti virus crowds have been slow on it too.

Subject: Re: [sharechat] Viruses

Just a brief note about novarg/mydoom, currently doing the rounds ...
it has a number of different subject headers designed, of course, to
get people infected: test, hi, hello, Mail Delivery System, Mail
Transaction Failed, Server Report, Status, Error. I suspect that Mail
Delivery System and Mail Transaction Failed are two that will catch
many people, as we're all interested when an email we've sent bounces
back at us.

If you're affected, more information is available here:
