Yes, I had a warning from Symantec this morning about this one. Apparently, it will only work until 28th January (unless the date on your computer is wrong, in which case it will continue working) Perhaps if we all alter the date on our computers to 1st February, we won't be at risk?!!

Perhaps if we alter the date on our computers to 21 Jan 1904 we'll be able to e-mail our dead rellies and fill in the gaps in our trees!
