According to Symantec there is a new email virus which is set to start infecting computers midnight on February 3rd (tomorrow). This virus is called the Kama Sutra virus and it is spread through email accounts. The virus is attached to emails that have titles such as, "the best videoclip ever", "give me a kiss", "school girl fantasies gone bad" (ect.). Now you may steer clear of emails like this, but the major concern with this virus is that if anyone on your mailing list opens these emails (or if your on anyone's mailing list who opens these emails) you are infected as well. Symantec released a removal tool for this viruses file name (W32.Blackmal). The following link will bring you to a web page that contains the removal tool file.

Better to be safe than sorry.
For the best results run the tool in windows safe mode (to start safe mode keep pressing f8 at system start up until a dos menu appears then select safe mode start up).
