At the risk of sounding stupid, do I need to do anything about this virus? I use various computers to log on to my email account, mainly a Mac running OS X. I've searched my hard-drive but can't find any suspicious looking files or folders.<
Good question... First if you don't have any antivirus software yet you need to get it and keep it up to date. I usually set up my virus software to automatically download updates when I'm connected to the internet. Sencond many people aren't aware that patches are released on a daily basis for every part of their computer. For windows users you should have a button in your start menu called "Windows Update" or use http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com If you run any MS office product you also need to go here http://office.microsoft.com/OfficeUpdate/ This will update everything from drivers to critical system protection. Always get the critical updates! I'm sure Mac's have similar resources available.

I thought the internet was now a tame place, its wild west days long gone ;) At the risk of sounding stupid, do I need to do anything about this virus?
