A bit off the Peugeot topic, but with several viruses having smacked the
list, you may want to check out such things before you send out mass
virus warnings to people... go to
http://www.mcaffee.com/centers/anti-virus/default2.asp and browse their
database of viruses. It's an interesting read if you have a couple of
hours to kill some afternoon, and if you take a minute to search a virus
name, you can verify the validity of any virus claim that you get via
email from concerned folk.
Sorry again, about the off-topic, but perhaps it will help in the
future....
