[LargeFormat] Recent Virus

[philip Lambert]

Thanks all for the comments. I am grateful to Symantec as well who
downloaded an antivirus file specific to the virus involved which scanned
all my hard disk and deleted the offending worm file .  Clive if you can get
this email through your system without a virus alert sounding I guess my
system must be clean for the moment. I did have McAfee antivirus on my Dell
but it got lost when Dell decided to fit a new hard disk, motherboard,
processor and so on. The computer is a lot faster and is reliable but I need
to buy some Antivirus XXXXX   I was trying to download PCCILLIN but it was
taking an age as I suspect lots of other people had the same need due to
this current virus. Anybody wish to suggest the most appropriate antivirus
software for a standalone laptop?   Thanks again. Philip
