not to worry, I got it from you, but I knew about this virus some time ago, so I didn't open the attachment ------------------

I got Piega's e-mail, but luckily inbox.lv deleted the infrcted file. I think TR fans get this because they're all in Piega's contacts or adress book.IP: Logged |

I checked why it happens. You are all not in my adressbook. 50% of the spreaded mail was corrupted and do not affect the adressbook of outlook. The virus checks all the adresses found in the tempfolder of windows.IP: Logged |

The ones that are in the temp internet folders I think? I recieved e-mails from people I do not have an adress from so I think the virus checks adresses on pages where I have been on tombraider sites.------------------
