I heard there is a virus going around via email. It has something to do with snow white and the seven dwarfs! did it come in an email? if you have a virus scan use it. If you dont have one get one!

Ya I have a virus scan. As soon as I read the mail I deleted it. The name of the guy was hahaha. If it was a virus, did my scaner get rid of it?

YES!! That IS a virus!! I got it at work. Do NOT click on it. Delete it, then go to "Deleted Items" and delete it there, too. Then do a search on your computer for anything with that name and delete it. If you have already clicked on it, it is too late. Go buy the new Norton Anti-Virus for $50. It's not that bad of a virus (ie, it won't erase your hard drive), your computer will just start performing "illegal Operations" on a regular basis.
Good luck!

Yep, I've been getting a virus from that sender every other week-end or so for the last two months. I don't think it's related to the chat are since I've never been on there. All mails appear to originate are from Australia. Just make sure you have NAV with Auto Protect enable and your system should be fine.

Update your virus scanner before you scan for the virus, it will take awhile you want to scan your entire hard drive area to make sure its completly gone.

Does it come into effect when you click on it from the inbox? Because I opened it, it sounde creapy, then I emmediatly deleated it. Before the virus came I was having problems with illeagle opperations signs poping up, but ever since the virus, they have pretty much stoped.
