*Virus Alert*

Just heard on the CBC (Canadian equivalent to the BBC) news at noon that there is a new virus that has the capability to steal all your passwords. Affects Microsoft IE and Netscape. Microsoft is working on an emergency patch but in the meantime it is recommended that you use other browsers such as Firefox. This virus can bypass protection from your anti-virus/firewall software.
As you move from site to site it records your passwords. Thought to be used for creating bootleg games but can also capture your banking info (ect.) if done online.

Be Careful: Rick

Makes me glad I use Firefox, and have done for years.
