Nope teeth, eyes and private parts first then the fingernails, slowly of=
 course.

Personally, I think that the individuals that create such damaging virus=
es should have their fingernails 
removed and be forced to type War and Peace for Project Gutenberg (at le=
ast then they will be doing a 
service to humanity)

There is indeed a virus doing the rounds, I have also received three bla=
nk
e-mails with HTML attachments - this is the virus. The virus gradually
corrupts all *.exe files on your system, once the *.exe files have been
damaged you cannot repair them - you must  re-install them from your
original discs. Once you have received the virus it will resend it's sel=
f to
random people from your address book. It also selects another address fr=
om
your book to name as the sender, so it is difficult to trace where it ha=
s
come from. It also makes up a subject heading.

This virus also detects virus checkers / scanners and turns them off.!

The only way I have found to remove the virus is by creating an emergenc=
y
boot disc from McAfee Virus Checker, and power up the PC with the boot d=
isc
in the drive. The damaged *.exe files must then be re-installed.

You will need the latest virus data-base from McAfee before creating the=

boot disc.
