Don't open attached Xmas greetings if you don't\nrecognize the sender! This is not a nasty virus, one of those evil worm\nthings, just prankish. In the earlier version, which I was also lucky enough\nto get, it (a) made me unable to get the Norton quarantine notice off my\ndesktop (that is fixed); (b) cricket sounds, not unpleasant, turn up at\nirregular intervals, even when I'm playing music (that has just started up\nagain, though I opened none of the attachments).\n\nMerry Christmas, every one,\n-alga"
