cool Daryl , I was not trying to pull you up, I'm forever making typos, no worries.

Was more intrested about the virus warning, I got caught out on the old Biante web site with a virus, and it really did some harm, was an e-mail virus or something like that.

So, thanks so much for the warning once again.

Thanks for the warning Daryl I received an email from someone called Wayne ?????? (can't remember last name) and didn't recognise the name so I deleted it. Don't know if this was the visus dude but it had 'Biante' in it. I applogise to Wayne ????? if it was a genuine email from a genuine collector but you can't be too carefull as Daryl has just warned us.

I have received the "Bugbear" virus from Australia twice in the last week, but as I do a lot of dealing with Aussies I don't think it was anything labelled "Biante" this time. I'll keep an eye out though - thanks! Luckily I had a good antivirus system in place, as this Bugbear not only does the usual attaching to your address book and sending itself to everyone, but it also lurks in the system recording every keystroke, enabling someone else to access things like bank details whenever you're online. Nasty...

Yeah Nick that Bugbear is Nasty and smart,it looks for Keywords to mail itself ,I had emails suggesting they were from Ebay ,they werent, they were Viruses,and one refered to model cars. it doesnt come with an attachment it is on the incoming email as it opens into the Inbox.
I run Norton 2002 antivirus on live update,it stopped them.
