The Nyxem Virus has been accumulating victims with the latest email scam On the 3rd February 2006 the Nyxem-E Windows virus is set to delete Microsoft Office Programmes and Acrobat files on infected machines. The virus gets into computers through email attachments promising adult materials, with headings such as: Fw: Funny :) Fw: Picturs Hot Movie As well as attacking Word, Powerpoint, Excel and PDF files this virus can also prevent the mouse and keyboard from working. PC users have been urged to scan their computers before the 3rd to prevent this destructive virus causing damage. ================================================ Just a heads up people, always best to update your virus protection and scan at least every 2 days or more....(I do it every day.....scan, that is!) And of coarse, BACKUP YOUR WORK! Marc
