Crista Help......how do we get rid of this Swen/Gibe.F.virus???? is it the same one we use the McAfee Stinger for?? Only when I went to site you previously mentioned there was nothing I could find for a free download? Think I may have opened an email supposedly from Postmaster (no attachment)!! Dierdre X

Hello Colin from Hampshire! Thanks for that! I owe you a drink when we meet at Guildford! I have followed all instructions (had to disable systems restore 'cos I'm XP...but how do I know if I'd been stung???? Do I assume having done scan etc. that I am free of any virus I may have had??? Nothing came up on the Stinger to say so! Am I safe to email again? Am fed up with viruses, worms trojan thingy's etc. etc. Moan Moan!! Dierdre XX
