The virus Pretty Park has been spreading itself around. I found it on my computer and you may have gotten it also. I have bad news. What your computer sent me, without you knowing it, is a trojan horse worm program. (It's similar to a virus, but "bigger" in that it's a self-contained program.) When you ran the program, it infected your system. Now it has mailed itself out to everyone in your e-mail address book. Some of the recipients will run it, it will infect their computers, and so on. You're going to have to disinfect your system, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to warn everyone in your address book about it. Hopefully, they can avoid running the program. If they did run it, they need to know how to clean up from it. The easiest way to tell if you have been infected with Pretty Park is to do a file search for: files32.vxd, if this file is on your computer you have been infected. Go to http://www.getvirushelp.com and download their free program to remove Pretty Park. Charlie
