Do you Yaha?

I keep getting the Yaha virus cleverly disguised as a "screen saver" from some person I don't know in Ireland. I checked Symantec's website, and apparently this is one of those things that, once run on your machine, emails itself off to everyone in your address book.

How the hell did I end up in this persons address book anyway?

I've emailed them 3 times now with links to Symantec describing what it is and how to kill it, yet the virus keeps coming to me. In desperation, I emailed support at his/her ISP, hoping that they'll give this person a call and gently beat the user about the head with a hockey stick (and assist them in cleaning their dirty system).

*sigh*

It never ceases to amaze me that after all the virus attacks out there, people are still clicking on things like *.scr, *.vbs, and *.com files (to name a few).

Sheep.... all of them!
