I got nailed by one of those too. . . But the one 
that got me activated as soon as I highlighted 
the message. (I didn't even open the attachment!) 
Needless to say, it did it via a loophole in IE 
that my husband and I promptly went in after, 
found, and shut down. >_<

But I tell you, I was rolling in the aisles with 
that "Hot Paarty!" virus. . . ^_^  My boss had 
called me at home and begged me to come in to 
work and fix the computer. (Me: "But I'll be in 
tomorrow." Him -desperate-: "It has to be fixed 
NOW!") So I drag in and he pulls me to the back 
computer, makes sure no one is looking and shows 
me how all the icons on his desktop have been 
changed to animated pictures of nude women waving 
their "T"s and "A"s. (*laughing to tears*)  
Apparently, when he accidetnally activated it and 
saw the results, he just shut off the computer 
and claimed it wasn't working. ^_^

Many Sharp Smiles,
