Sorry to say that my computer has spent the past few days busily sending multiple viruses (viri?) to everybody in my address book.. (Some of you may be seeing various viruses from me.)
Seems I contracted a whopper "symbiotic host" thing via a bootleg dvd that disabled my anti-virus software, which in turn directed me to a website that infected my systems with multiple viruses. I've been assured that what my computer has is, at this point, a very isolated and controlled issue, and it is NOT transmittable through email. Unfortunately, the viruses that it collected are.
My sincerest apologies for the inconvenience.

I guess this is another lesson in investing in antivirus software and keeping the virus definitions up to date. It's the first thing I do anymore, when I get online, is to check for updates. Thank God for Norton antivirus and KUSTOMS!!!!
