Don't feel too bad folks. We've been getting up to 30 a day. So far Norton is doing a great job of catching them all. We keep deleting the infected mail and contacting senders. Many are embaressed, mistakingly feeling they are to blame. We try to reassure them that this is happening to millions of people and is not their fault.
The first thread started by Dave Draper has some excellant links and advice on how to rid yourself of this nasty virus and protect yourself from future ones.

Hiya Michael, I sure hope that the virus doesn't grab all us guys in the VMP group. Luckily after the first virus I had earlier this year I now have Norton installed and so far it has caught them all.

All of you must be really disliked by someone, in the last 5 years I have not received one virus and I do get a lot of email. I have gotten a lot of Hoax's that friends send me thinking their real so I send them all a link to a Hoax/Virus site. Do you think any of them ever checks the site before sending it out to others..NOPE, some people you can't teach anything. I think the world is virus paranoid,but I bet Norton & McAfee have something to do with that?
