There's a virus out there that mutates and is causing havoc.

Make sure your computer is protected. (MAC nerds need not worry)

Here is a link to get the security patch.

I saw that on the BBC a few days back, nasty stuff.

Blimey, that patch was actually released back in October 2008! Just goes to show how infrequently some people update their security.

Conspiracy theory time: The damn viruses are created by the guys selling the security -- ala "the Net" with Sandra Bullock.

Sounds like time to backup your files and run the system restore disk. There's probably no other way to fix it.
