We hope the list administrators do not mind on this occassion but our list like many of Rootswebs are receiving litterally dozens of emails containg the W32 Bugbear-A worm.
Though this worm does not infect files it is a pain in the proverbial!!

You can download a disinfect programme from the following Anti Virus Software website.
It is only a ten second download and you can check your system and clean it up if you indeed have it!!

Make sure you read the READRMBG first as this tells you how to use it, and turn off your printer or it will print out about 50 sheets of A4!!

And as we tell all of our subscribers make sure you have an updated AV programme.

Once again hope the administrators do not mind about this, they are probably suffering as well!!
