Not sure which virus that is, but Mcafee has a page about Valentine's day-related malware: http://www.avertlabs.com/research/blog/index.php/2009/02/05/love-is-in-the-air/ The best defense is to have an up-to-date A/V program and don't run your users as an admin. Not running as admin defeats the vast majority of malware. A little user education would be even better, but I do have more than a few users who are extremely resistant to education. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
