Symantec have no sense of humour

In respsonse to the massive threat posed by the Irish virus, Symantec have relased this on their website.

Symantec Security Response encourages you to ignore any messages regarding this hoax. It is harmless and is intended only to cause unwarranted concern.

So someone actually wrote into Norton and asked for help in removing this virus. That's me told. I am sorry if I caused anyone "unwarranted concern". If I did, please get in touch and I will tell you that you are depriving a village somewhere of its idiot.
