Theres a virus going around- it may come from someone that you know, who has sent it unwittingly (or has no wits). Dont open it, just delete it immediately. The header on the email will be "copyright" and the attachment is called "show".

Thanks. BTW...since this topic surfaces every so often: I have a subscription to McAffee virus protection. This is an online thing...no need for a disk. It is about £20 for one year. You download the program and install it online. Then you will receive alerts every so often as McAffee updates their files for new viruses. I am very happy with it so far. It has stopped a couple of bugbear viruses (something like that) which are going around. As soon at it hit my email inbox (I use Outlook Express), the McAffee alert thing isolated it and a pop-up displayed on my screen telling me how to deal with it. I know there are cheaper ways to get some reasonable protection, but this thing is constantly monitoring as I am online and has save me three times in six months. *end of public service announcement*

I dont have wax in my carpet dear boy... you may be confusing me with Linsi.. however I did once spill what looks like a vat of wax on my best friends versace jeans whilst drunkenly offering him a light from a large red scented candle one night last march.... any tips on that? (the jeans are still in my wardrobe...the zipper mouths "£135 you careless bitch" at me everytime i open the door...
