Default How to stop this virus spam going around now

Hate to repeat myself too - but thought i'd re-post so that the new subject
catches the attention of more people suffering from the current virus doing
the rounds.

What i said was:

I hate flogging products on the net, but here is something that I've been
using for a long time now. I got into it during their beta testing phase,
and now they have gone into production mode for a few months. Check the
webpage; the monthly cost is about $4 US. This product works so
fantastically well (with Outlook as the mail client) that it's the only
thing I've ever signed up to pay on the internet. I can't imagine being
without it now.

I strongly urge that everyone using Outlook 2000/2002/XP should sign up. My
self-interest: to see more subscribers so they make a profit and therefore
keep this invaluable service running. Seems they are offering bulk discounts
too - presumably for Corporate licences etc.

While we're plugging products, home users should consider the Kerio
Personal Firewall (free). This firewall prevents new programs from
accessing the internet until you specifically authorise them too. It
also checksums the programs meaning these sorts of things can't pretend
to be another program (except IE, but that's MS for you).
