Also reminds me of the first time I came across a virus - I said to the boss, "all you have to do is set the date to such and such and reboot". "Rubbish" he said, setting the date on his own pc and powering it off. He switched it back on and the screen remained blank, while the virus wiped his hard drive. I asked him if he’d done a backup recently. I could tell by his face that he hadn’t.

Seriously, yes, there do seem to have been more "cases" in the last 12 months or so. The people who write virus's make me sick. They are terrorists without a cause. Sorry to be so nasty, but I have known people to lose everything because of a virus. I really think we should get nasty with these people. They must cause billions in damage every year. Who's side are they on???? They should be tried for Treason.
