Everyone in my address book has been invited to join quechup.com. Don't do it! It's a virus. I caught it from esteemed blogger Yehuda:

and there's more about it here:

P.S. I just had a thought. If you did give it your email account password, start emailing people NOW and telling them not to join up. That's what I should have done.

Uh-hum. You've been sending viruses around, Friendless?
I received your email but I ignored it - ok, I opened the email, but I didn't try to join. Are there any precautions I should be taking? And what's this about "if you gave it your account password, start emailing people?" Does that mean if smeone with my email address gives it their password, it goes around
a) spamming those people in its address book
or even worse
b) trying to infect those people in its address book?
What is it?
Just (a). (b) only happens to stupid people. Like me.
I ignored your email and didn't touch it apart from opening it. No passwords given, no nothing. When I saw your thing I deleted it. Correct procedure?
That's fine Maria. Next time, wear a condom as well, to be sure.
I tried rubber gloves, as I hit the delete button, but thanks for the tip.
I've also disinfected carefully and paid for a pest control survey. Anything else?
Avast! I hope ye have been playing Piratey games, for this day is the International Talk Like A Pirate Day!
rkzhgixlIt was talk like a piate, not play like a pirate day.
Ummm, I think I was doing some legal interviewing tests, and some moot courts. Might have been funny.
