Thumbs down

I arrived back in the UK yesterday and proceeded to download my emails all 100+ of them. I was happily deleting those I did not want / recognise , all unopened, when I received a short series of "Mail Undeliverable" messages. I knew I hadn't sent anything so promptly shut down OE having had a quick look at one of these "Undeliverable" messages (in case it was something I had sent before I left the UK) and had my suspicions aroused even further. I had not seen this thread - it hadn't been posted at the time, but managed to locate Symantec's removal tool and use it with success. The fact is that I did not open anything I was unsure of. The only attachments I opened were ones which I had sent myself from another computer which has up to date virus protection in constant use. That computer is still virus free. I have no idea where this virus came from it is SNEAKY to say the least and it ate my McAfee anti-virus!
