BT and freeserve excuses are that a dummy microsoft upgrade message carrying a virus has swamped the system and they are trying to protect us! ...................
It's probably true, rippedoff. There have been stacks of those false upgrade messages. I have had the same message with about 7 different subject titles so whoever is sending it is trying to confuse people.

BT have now probably got a network of infected and uninfected machines and is doing its best to stop the uninfected ones from becoming infected.

Windows 2000 and XP seem to be particularly susceptible. Makes you think if upgrading to those operating systems is worth it if they are so vulnerable. So much for onwards and upwards!!
