Computer virus anyone??

Greg, I'd do it asap if you have no protection. Just buy a good quality computer anti virus software package at your local computer store like "Norton AntiVirus" or order it through the web.

With Norton you just stick the CD -Rom disc into your computer an let it do the rest an it'll automatically look after your PC - its that simple - honest.

Okey-dokey...but nothings ever that simple for me. I'll give it a go though but will have to buy over the net as i don't understand German too well...

Hurry up then cos we don't want to loose your good humour to any nasty viruses.

An if Derek e-mails you don't open it -virus or not - lol

Sorry Derek, I'm just envious of your bigger spinny thingy.

Hee-hee....

I'll be around a while yet Robbie (till my missus discovers how many posts i've made and how long i spend on the internet. That's the nature of the beast in my line of work though - intense periods of activity followed by loooonnggg periods of down-time....I'd recommend it to anyone!!!

thanks robbie

on the subject of viruses, i'm not too sure of the technical sides of computers but i already have norton but i think it might need updated.

i had an e-maila few days ago from my local dealer (that i dont use)- motorway_cars@dealers.peugeot.co.uk. titled eager to see you and an attached file 350.bat a bit silly but i opened it and nothing happened. i scanned my laptop for viruses last night and nothing was found.

today i got an e-mail from rodhutchinson@peugeotnet.co.uk titled background and a file attached called Uw.zip. i replied saying the e-mail had been deleted as it contained an attached file from an unknown source but the e-mail was returned unknown. i also deleted the e-mail.

I too received a virus from Peugeot :

blackshaws@dealers.peugeot.co.uk

Their way of getting back at some of us ?!

The dealership is one I was contacted by some time ago when I had my CC up for sale in Auto Trader (decided not to sell in the end!)

I had one two from the address too Stuart, had another two this morning with subject line 'motability'. There's definitely someone got it in for us Peugeot owners! Everyone make sure your virus software is up to date.

Maybe its that dastardly Simon - getting his own back!

I did have one that claimed to come from Simon but surely no-one would be stupid enough to put their own address on it!

all my e-mails are checked in and out by norton and the firwalls caught about 12 attempted hacks in the last month with trojan stuff.
