How appropriate that at the same time BBC America decides to run its Monty Python marathon (which we taped!), that my computer should also become infected with a "worm". My hotmail email account, which I've had for EIGHT years (wow! that's as long as I've known DH!) became infected, and everyone in my address book received spam messages from me.
If you are one of the recipients of such spam, I do apologize!
I officially shut down the account a few minutes ago. It's the end of an era. Sniff! But getting a worm has made me feel rather violated. DH keeps telling me to relax, but I do worry about if a worm can send spam to everyone in your address book, what else can it do!
While I'm cleaning house, I may decide to migrate my blog to another service, such as typepad, as some other knit bloggers have done. I'll keep you posted to any changes!
Hmm. What to label this post under. I don't have a category for spam or email worms. Guess I'll file this under being irish. What with our luck and all that.. (get it..??!!)

Don't worry, any spam sent must of been put into "spam" on gmail 'coz I don't remember getting anything from you recently that was "strange" or anything.
