From the number of viruses I've received this week something has been confirmed :
Far too many people can't be bothered to install a virus checker and keep it updated.

I have, up until today, politely informed the sender (if their email address is valid and there are ways of checking) that they have a virus and need to remove it. But in the last 15 hours I've received over 30 copies of Magistr, SirCam and Snow White and haven't the time to inform each and every person who is infected. This is a shame as SirCam can delete all files in C: and Magistr can corrupt your bios which may mean a new motherboard.

So folks, please install a good virus checker, keep it turned on, and keep it up to date.
