A static purple unit in East Anglia was out last week.
Interesting that I heard that by chance on Monday and only in writing in pprune tonight.
Do we know what the virus was? I had a couple about 10 days ago on my home machine. One where you could not opened a drive in My Computer. There was an autorun.inf file that refered to resycle.exe. It infeceted all drives but was easy to delete.
