Several firms in the City of London including investment bank, Investco and solicitors Travers Smith Braithwaite were hit by the Melissa virus over the weekend according to sources.

Robert Turner from the IT department of Travers Smith Braithwaite said of the virus: "We have five or six viruses related to Melissa going around. It is now a question of finding them and disinfecting the system."

A member of Investco's IT department admitted the company was still experiencing problems with the virus but no information on how it is affecting business could be given.

When all is said, if Microsoft produce the best product people will buy it and thats a good thing. If people have to buy their product because no one else can produce an alternative, only because interoperability protocols are kept secret, then thats a bad thing.
