Don't worry, you can only catch it from close contact with birds.

I heard that it infected your computer through e mails that had attatchments promising porn.

So come on own up, who's had these and opened them?

Norton will catch it and say:

'Ah, a virus, I'm supposed to do something with you arent I, well you just sit over there until I'm finished up my users registry and file system. I may be a while, I want to make a good thorough job of it'

I do like the graphic of Europe with little red spots over it. Looks like it's chicken pox.

Probably only if you've updated your virus definitions to recognise it.
