Hi again Flor. Being a little suspicious about this, I ran a number of scans on my computer today. Malware Antibytes threw up the below, which I have now removed. C:\Windows\AutoKMS\AutoKMS.exe (Trojan.AutoKMS) - Hope the iol passwords haven't been compromised. Mind you, there is nothing on google to suggest that there is a problem. Apparently, this is a file connected with Windows 7 and 8 and sometimes shows upas a Trojan. Take a look those of you who know more about viruses than me. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Flor Lynch Sent: 05 March 2013 10:53 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Re: Re windows mail Hi Paul, It mayt have been a problem at HQ - gpo.iol.ie - then.
