I'm sorry for what happened to you! I was careless and had disabled my virus
protection at the wrong moment....

But to clarify some thing. You have never been in my address book, and probably
never will be! But this Virus reads the buffer from your browser and it is not
much I can do about that. Anyway I have removed the virus from my PC and some of
the friends who got infected and have used two long evenings removing viruses,
upgrading virus protections etc.

And as I have been saying, I am sorry for anyone who got infected because of my
carelessnes. But I'm sorry to say the following also: You would probably have
got infected anyway! This virus is spreading like h...., and if your guard was
down it would of all probability have arrived at your PC anyway.
