Last Friday I discovered I had BugBear! Or to be more precise last Friday I discovered my computer had been infected by the w32.BugBear@mm virus.
It's one of those silent viruses. I knew other people who'd got it but I didn't know I'd got it too. It came on an email even though I'd been careful not to open any I was unsure of - honest!
It's one of those spoiling viruses. It corrupts files and it spreads. It hides itself in a couple of files, spreads to your operating system, changing its name each time you turn off and on and, without you knowing, can send itself to 12 of your (ex-)friends via your email address book when you are on line. It also memorises passwords and credit card details, such are its powers.
