I'll bet it happened to a million other people - but I didn't think it would
happen to anyone on Klarinet since there's been many postings prompting
people to get anti-virus programs installed.

If you're using email or downloading _anything_ from the Internet and you
value the data on your computer, get, install, and regularly update an
anti-virus program. Otherwise - it's your own fault when your computer is
infected.
