VIRUS FIRM Trend Micro has moved fast to sto* a bug that has *revented any email that uses the letter * getting to the reci*ients.

According to a re*ort on Channel Reseller News, the *roblem occurred because an u*date to its algorithms inadvertently included a rule that blocked the letter of the al*habet.

The *roblem is confined to its EManager *roduct and not to its antivirus software or its s*am *rotection service (S*S), the firm said.

Trend has told all its dealers about the bug, the news*a*er said. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
