The information I've received from Virgin, my ISP, says it's affecting Windows 2000 & XP but others should be OK. I'm on ME, has anyone had problems with this, or are Virgin correct. Also Virgin say the Virus is affecting the speed of the internet for everyone. I seem to be on a bit of a go slow tonight, anyone else worse than usual?

Helen, ME is OK. Just make sure that you have downloaded any critical updates. If you have an automatic update facility there is nothing else you need do.

You need to install a fire wall as this stops any worms from entering your PC.
