Pretty park: sincere apologies

I want to apologise to everyone who received an e-mail from me with an attachment containing the "pretty park"-virus.
 
This virus must have installed itself on my PC when I opened this e-mail attachment myself yesterday. Since it came from a colleague, I was not suspicious about its contents - my mistake, I admit.
 
Once installed, this virus automatically forwarded itself - beyond my control - to everyone who is in my address book. It was only when I read your reactions earlier today, that I realised the problem and its extent. 
 
I wish to stress that, obviously, it has never been my intention to cause any problems by spreading a malicious virus. The only reason this could happen is probably the fact that the anti-virus systems in my organisation are outdated. 
 
In the mean time, the necessary steps have been taken to remove the virus. Nevertheless, I want to sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this virus may have caused. I will give it my utmost best to make sure things like this will never happen again. 
 
Kind regards,
