Thanks JP, I learn some more!...I'm not a computer phobe by all accounts but it didn't seem to run like a norm'.
I had no e-mails from anyone else in my address book. You perhaps get 5 or 6 from your address book when this happens but it seemed strange that Nelly had one, contacted me...and then I get one from Dukerob, both were exactly the same! I just thought it strange that e-mail type virus' behave randomly yet this seemed to be "looking" for my mates!!!
I think I'll add Qurb to my works Laptop!...That should sort the men from the boys!...
