    i just had this virus. it did the same to me - didn't let me open anything. but for me it did so because every time i tried to open something my mcaffe start screamin and alertin me about a possible virus intrusion and didn't let me continue. so i disabled my mcaffee and could follow the advice on mcaffee's page on how to eliminate the b*tch. everything's fine now.

    if you arent' running mcaffe as a background service, then this won't help you, i'm afraid :(

    My IT manager got this one this morning. Sent it to everyone on his list, All of our Clients. This is a very old virus, must be a new strand of some kind. So I had to clean all the machine today. Fun.

    I got it too. Nortons licked it good and quick.

    Nothing against you toqueboy
    (all of my numpty friends opened the bloody screensaver and I got this puppy 12 times, three times a day, for four days).

    So a word of advice, leave MacAfees in the trash bin where it belongs and get Nortons. It had it quarentined as soon as I had the message.

    Nortons may nab it as soon as you intsall.
