g.

I received the warning from NIWA and rebroadcast to the safe-nz list (which
is run from NIWA computers) and to share chat, and I though I had edited
out the NIWA specific bits for share chat, but obviously hadn't.  Apologies
for the slight confusion, though not for the virus warning. 

You can get virus protection from a number of sites, including symantec
(Norton) and MacAfee (which is what I use).

I would appear at the moment that you can avoid the virus by (a) not
opening any ILOVEYOU email (how many of us get those on a regular basis
from Share chat, or not using OUTLOOK.
