I wonder, in vain hope, if anyone can help me. My computer seems to be infested with two particularly nasty viruses thus: 1) paultreanor.exe - this one fills my machine with strange leaps of logic, conspiracy theories that seem barely plausible (i doubt even carol vorderman, let alone arthur c. clark, would manage to sustain a couple of minutes debating the possibilities)and borderline madness. 2)critgeogcrap.exe - an endless stream of bizarre, vaguely geographical, stories with VERY STRONG MORALS... this has been happening for some time now. make it stop! As for the below, see comments Paul Treanor <[log in to unmask]> reckons, right! >Graham Tipple wrote: >> >> You have just sent me a file containing the SirCam virus.

The SirCam virus does NOT require an address book to replicate and works instead with recently used email addresses to circulate random documents. >The virus can not have operated from another person's >computer either - unless they have for some reason changed >the e-mail address on the mail programme to my address.
