It's a terrible multi OS virus that seems to be going around. Spread by some ginger twonk apparantly.

.. if you`re using the really old versions of the OS ;)

I'm not so smug as to think it will never happen again, just that right now it's unlikely. I do have a firewall and hefty filters on my email client.

I still use OS 7 on my ancient powerbook when I need to take a laptop somewhere to use Word. Athough with it's cica 1993 internal modem, I'd never use it to access internet :)
