Virus Alert

[lightcastle]

I wouldn't trust any emails from me over the last day or so. Something hit my laptop. Oddly, it seems to be disguised as an alert about a virus. (It also cleverly insists there is an internet attack even when the machine is not on any network because the wireless is turned off.) It seems to want to make me buy Antivirus Pro or something. It is inhibiting me launching my actual antivirus program, so this is screwing me up no end.

So yeah, there goes my Saturday.
