Yawn, it sounds more like maybe "Tuesday" caught the Klez virus and it was spread to you via Outlook Express without Tuesday's knowledge. The tip of the day from slashdot.org is that viruses only infect Windows OS and travel via Outlook Express. If you don't use Windows or Outlook you are completely safe. Hmmm...sounds like a definate plug for Macs. I know you guys love your PC's, but they are like cars with no doorlocks with the keys welded into the ignition. Anyone with a little knowledge and nerve can take them for a ride. If I owned a PC I would be screaming bloody murder at Microsoft for allowing viruses such a free reign, but then they sell anti-virus software don't they??? Hmmm...
