RE: WARNING. New Virus out
What is funny, I used to be into coumputers, I bought a Timex sinclair back in the 80's and the Comadoor 64 was all the rage, I was rocking when I bought a 386 sx with 8 megs of Ram....
three years ago, I bought my system I have now to replace the 386...I learned dos, never caught on to OS 2 and avioded coumputers totaly for personal use.
So if you wanna play and don't know how to write code, MS has the average user hostage...
I should have stuck with it when I was younger, but oh well, I have rabbit ears on my TV and I don't have cabble TV, but I do have cable for the coumputer..

RE: WARNING. New Virus out
This is whatI got in my e-mail This was checked by scoops.com bythe way. It is a virus that opens an Olympic torch which burns the whole hard disk C of your computer This virus will be recieved from someone who has your e-mail address in his/hercontact list. The message came from Mcnauttie5@aol.com Maybe you can eomail them and then post it here. I don't know how to do that. I'm lucky enough to know how to turn on the computer.

RE: WARNING. New Virus out
My wife picked up a little bug off of myspace. It kept wanting to take her to a 'virusbursters.com' website and install come BS app. I told her about this crap. So after installing the latest adawar personal it removed it, basically the 'bug' hijacked IE, which was still 6 at the time and you couldnt do anything. So I used my pc to download adaware, and then installed it on hers, via jump drive, ran it, and spybot sd, and it cleared it right up. Apparently a profile on myspace was infected, when it opened the page, a pop up saying 'you need some stupid BS to view this profile' and of course she installed 'it' LOL.
She better be glad she's pretty......

Thank god for my Mac

Many people have said it before (and I said it before in this thread), as Apple becomes more popular for its "increased security" more hackers and virus/worm/etc writers will be drawn to it, and you will find out, Mac's aren't as safe as you thought they were.

99% of security problems with Windows can seemingly be a "non-issue" if you just use your head.
It's ok tho, I like to joke about Mac users.. they still don't understand the two-buttom mouse thing

RE: WARNING. New Virus out
from today's Washington Post technology section:
Some software security vendors suspect that a new Trojan horse program that surfaced last month, called "Rustock.B," may serve as the template for future malicious software. The program morphs itself slightly each time it installs itself on a new machine in an effort to evade anti-virus software. In addition, it hides in the deepest recesses of the Windows operating system, creates invisible copies of itself, and refuses to work under common security analysis tools in an attempt to defy identification and analysis."This is about the nastiest piece of malware we've ever seen, and we're going to be seeing more of it," said Alex Eckelberry, president of the security vendor Sunbelt Software in Clearwater, Fla. "The new threats that we saw in 2006 have shown us that the malware authors are ingenious and creative in their methods."
