If you get an email from someone that you don't know that is 46kb or 47kb in size, you shouldn't open it. It will be a .scr or .exe file which causes an image to contantly remain on your computer screen and leaves you unable to access any data or files on the computer. It is also impossible to uninstall even if you go into your computer in DOS or BIOS.

Hope this warning saves a few of you. :-)

Right sorry about this/that/and the other.

My mate got onto my thingy because he knows my password, damn him. I think he will be getting his own SR account on the forums though, that'll be cool.

I still get about 5 a day even though I block the senders. Its due to corporations selling your email address to mailing lists. Damn them.
