Ok... I've no idea how this one happened - but happened it has. I've gotten hold of the "BackDoor-AMQ" Virus as identified by McAffees online virus scanner. Trouble is I have no anti-virus software installed at the moment and nothing up to date to combat the problem. Does anyone have detailed instructions of removing the virus (or suggestions for a good program to do the job - the cheaper the better).

And yeah, I will be looking into firewall and anti-virus software in the near future. Just incase anyone was thinking of reminding me ;)

Norton Anti-Virus '04 is the latest version. It'll set you back about $50 though

You sure that's the name of the virus? I can't find any referenecs to it at all on either Symantec or McAffee's site.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Whenever I get viruses, I get some virus cleaner disk from the company I got my computer from.  Perhaps you could do the same???

Good idea, but the software at my company isn't available to employees. They actually have a very good software security system in place that means it's very hard to get a virus in there in the first place (not that I've tried - but the system implies it is). Therefore you'd have to be a determined hacker to attack it - not just a random virus spreading around.

On top of that, I'm just not important enough ;)
