OT: VIRUS!!! VIRUS!!! VIRUS!!!!! BE CAREFUL!!!

Hmm - this seems to be a particularly powerful and dangerous infection, three times more powerful than the 'standard'. Luckily, the 'V-word' virus causes no damage other than slightly clogging up mailboxes. The fact that this example uses the word 3 times would make it particularly bad, but multiple exclamation marks are a dead giveaway, and most of us can delete the message manually.

Although this 'V-Word' virus is one of the most common email problems (along with other spam), anti-virus programs *still* refuse to recognise it and delete any message that uses the 'V-Word' with multiple exclamation marks.

Don't panic - just follow these simple steps:

  1. Trust no-one
  2. Prevent this insidious virus from spreading any further by not posting any replies containing the 'V-Word' virus.
