As a 20-year old in 1959 I prepared one of the first computerised payrolls in S.A. The mainframe and peripherals occupied a whole floor of the Durban Treasury, and the 5mb hard drive was about the size of a filing cabinet - I guess that was progress! -

I have "Googled" this virus and it turns out that I needed to have a system scan done ! The result of this scan was that there were no signs indicating a fluid problem but rather too much solid data being fed into the data storage utility via the esophagus interface. It is suggested that I put on a data cap in order to reduce the flow. Eish !! the good life !
