the damage control took all night:bang:

just a word of warning

b****r! Photos is actually spelled, "Fotos" in Germany and I get quite a few emails with .jpg foto attachments.

Hope it didn't do too much damge, tangamansam :shrug:!?

unfortunatly i don't know about the damage factor but it's a pain in the rear having to explain to grandparents that this e-mail is a dodgy one don't open it. my grandad at 82 is really quite computer literate but can't resist opening things just to see what happens!

up side is all my friends work e-mails rejected it because of the strength of their virus protection. not one of the personal accounts it went to sent it back!
