Many of us use Hotmail and there is currently a email virus going around - it contains a nasty mailer worm which will take over your mail account and send out emails with offers for penis enlargement - It wouldn't be so bad but it doesn't even work. And so if you get an email like the one posted below, move it to your Spam folder and delete it:

Gary - this is what happened to my hotmail account about a month ago. I never received any kind of bogus email asking for info - but somehow they still got into my hotmail account and sent out the spam to everyone. I don't know how they got into my address book, but it might have been Facebook.

yeah this happens all the time but this was reported in the PC press today so I thought I'd run it.
