use Perl

Doh ! An .exe from a friend in my email. What is the one thing you dont do. And what did I do ? A moments lapse in several years, and I work in email security too. Instantly recognised what I'd done and ran the virus scan, which found the offending files and removed them, apparently it was a trojan worm (aren't the all). What really scared me though was the number of dialers it found that I certainly hadn't downloaded. I removed all them too and resolved only to use Opera as my browser. I must run the virus scanner manually on my other windows machine too, it should run automatically, but there is always the possibility that its found a virus and is patiently waiting for me to click an 'ok' box sat in its quiet and rarely visited personal cellar.
