We've just received a virus via email. Given the virus in question, it has to be from someone who has both our email address and at least one other forum member's email address in their address book. Just to be on the safe side, could people do a virus scan?

It looks like it came from someone who uses NTL to connect to the Internet, but I can't be 100% certain.
