Low to medium but if you get it your in trouble. Here is what the virus e-mail looks like.

What make me curious is that it has been circulating for over two weeks, but the media didn't pick up on it until yesterday. I guess it was a slow news day. 🙄

That's about the size of it - just another 'fill the gap'.

The bug, know as BlackWorm, Kama Sutra, Mywife or CME-24, has spread through email attachments promising pornography, with subjects like “Hot Movie” and “Miss Lebanon 2006“.

What's new??

Computer giant Microsoft has warned customers to make sure they have the latest anti-virus software and that it is turned on.

Who said Microsoft doesn't look after their customers??

What a waste of time and resources.

The only thing I can't comprehend is what part of, "Don't open attachments", don't people understand?

I didn't know people paid any attention to 'warnings' of this kind - or most other kinds for that matter, let alone understand the meaning.

Thanks for letting us know about this. Hopefully we, (our computers) will all avoid catching this virus.

As usual,mac is laughing itself to death;''another virus we don't need to care about''! 🙄

Yeah, you win some, you lose some.

Have you ever tried running FS on a Mac?

I want a Mac for myself and just use FS on windows that would be great.

Thanks for the warning

I'm digging into the cobweb covered recesses of my memory. Years ago, Apple computers released a piece of software that would emulate the MS Windows environment. Which meant that you could run any software originally written for MS Windows on a Mac.
A friend who was a Mac-man at the time told me that it works flawlessly, except you would notice a little sluggishness all around.
No problem so far, but what about framrate hits in FS?
My friend didn't know - him being a hardcore Maccer.

The end of it all, FS being one of my priorities, I'm still using MS Windows based systems.

Tanks!!!
