A new virus is doing the rounds as I'm sure you've heard. Please be aware that if you receive any emails from us with the virus then they are NOT sent by us. This virus spoofs the senders email address before sending. To find more about this virus, dubbed "MyDoom", click here

That's an interesting piece of trivia:

*In 1989, a teenager in Sofia, Bulgaria, released the Dark Avenger virus that destroyed data and contained references to lyrics from metal rock band Iron Maiden, including "Eddy lives ... somewhere in time."*

Anyway, although my computer is not infected -- anymore! -- ppl are still receiving viruses supposedly sent by me. Hopefully, this should stop within a few days...
