But in summary, if you are using Internet Explorer 5 or 5.5 and have not run the patches, it could be you that's doing it to the rest of us. To see, go into Internet Explorer, run tools, Windows Update and install all the critical updates. If you need to do this then definately look for the worm signs. If not, then you may be OK. Alternatively, upgrade to IE6. But do all the checks anyway.
If you do have bugbear, someone will be reading your keystrokes - and if some of those happen to be your credit card number . . . .
Oh, and if you haven't downloaded the latest virus definitions from you virus vendor, do it now - and every day - please!!!!!
And if you don't have a virus checking program, go to http://www.grisoft.com and get a free one.
I'm doing this becase I get enough emails as it it without more from resulting from someone who hasn't taken the most basic of care about their PC.
