    Got an email from "Brosnan Solicitors" <brosnanandco@eircom.net> about 3 days ago with the subject "LANDREG" and the message
    "Hi! How are you?

    I send you this file in order to have your advice

    See you later. Thanks"

    with the virus "LANDREG.doc.pif" attached.
    Don't ask me what this does because I didn't open it. I was wondering if ye knew anything about it.

    Thanks.

    It trawls for e-mail addresses in your internet cache as well as your address book. She may have visited a page with your address on it and that's how you got the mails.

    She must have been looking for a hot internet virgin.
