More live-updates are available from Norton A-V today.
Sorry, I don't know anything about the other companies.

I read in the newspaper today that OnTrack latest recovery program (about $50) can recover your image files!!!! :) :) :)

Also read there is a new virus (damn - I can't remember the name!) which uses HTML as its propogation system - it runs as soon as you view the email - no need to open any atachment!!!! :mad: . :mad: . :mad:

Feline,

Do you use a mouse driver that has an option "single click where you would normally double click"? eg MS Intellimouse.

At a guess, setting that option would just change a registry entry, which means that it would be easy for something like the I Love You virus to change as part of its payload in anticipation of post infection clean-up activities.

Maybe it's worth checking the registry for such changes?

That's actually a very percipient post. As it so happens, I do use an MS Intellimouse, but have checked and the Clicksaver option isn't checked. Also, can't remember seeing a registry entry change for the intellimouse when I looked at the script.
I still rather think that for some reason, Visual Basic Scripts execute as soon as you single click them. As I think I've said before, that could simply be one of the "unpublished features" for which Windoze is renowned!

I was just sent an email titled " ILoveYou" from a person called MileHighClub8. I'm not sure if it is the virus mentioned here, but since he is not my ' friend' and in serious need of some attitude correction in any case, I did not open it.
Any ideas how to return to sender? ;)
It may be a totally innocuous email, but since the w@nker has already offered to fight me on a thread in the cabin crew forum - I don't think he really loves me LOL.
Any thoughts on what I ought do about him?

Don't stuff around with it Tarantella - shift delete to deep six it. Don't try and return it to sender - if it is the LoveBug virus, you don't need it in your life - believe me!

If this joker is trying to rev you, I would suggest dropping an e-mail to the moderator of the forum with the facts, and asking to have the perpetrator banned from PPRuNe - slagging someone off in a forum is one thing, sending someone something which may or may not be a virus is something else entirely.
