Computer Virus Alerts

[brian_brian]

This also happened to my abit ic-7 ( specially for usb version 2.0 port ) since last sunday ...

my adsl ... suddenly disconnect after 3-4 minute connected, even on below right corner I still can see the for adsl connection and seem connected ... but I could not ping to any other site including my isp. I try to contact them ... to reset my connection still did not work ....

So I decided to re-install my xp pro with sp1 including usb 2.0 port driver, and now I can back on track ...

I suggest to all of you who using adsl connection for take care of this matter, and I hope this matter would not happen to you ... please update your scan engine and dont forget to enable the firewall feature as well ...

In this case ... I am so lucky that ... this happened only at my adsl connection ... not to my valueable data ... thanks god ...

cheer

Thanks to viruses they're employin ppl. Business goes smoothly. more jobs, better economy. Hehe! I guess it's bad for us consumers havin to pay for the pricey softwares
Some ppl hold grudge against Microsoft cos they're sellin incomplete software and its business practice is unfair. And of course, M$ sucks sentiment is in.
As you know viruses only affect Windows OS, it doesn't affect Linux. I wonder why, hehe.
I don't see necessary to update security patches if there are loopholes one after another. If this issue is fixed, another is left open, ugh.

Cause you know ... that Linux has a good security feature platform than all Microsoft OS ... even XP or Win2003 server ...

and you know that up till now ... all microsoft site still had protected by Linux ...

Linux is more commonly used by server based clients, therefore the people operating it usually knows what they are doing, or they should as Linux is damn hard to use!
So it's much harder to attack them, since they will have taken more preventative measures..
Basically, viruses are written by hooligans and its probably equivalent to graffiti.
Its harder to write viruses for Linux but there has been some, like RST, RST.b recently and Bliss, a few years ago.

MS and the other 'big' software companies makes their money from corporations and they wouldnt want to jeopardize and/or involve themselves in legal court cases just to track down a pirated copy here and there..

True, they dont care about their customers but they do care about the bottom line and their rep. I don't think they would want to spread viruses for such a small cause.

Having said that, in the early days of Win 3.1 they did deliberately put bugs in their software that gave error msgs if it was used on top of DR Dos. LMAO, that was such a classic!! Every now and then, it would spew out error messages even tho nothing was wrong.

Of cos, they got into trouble for it but the courts couldnt find a suitable punishment and as a consequence, they sorta got away with it.
Technically, not viruses per se but unethical all the same.. then again, we kinda expect that from Micro$oft huh?

/my 2cent.. ^^

You know you can prevent the comp from shutting down by going to
START menu
Go to RUN
Key in: shutdown -a
Click ok
It will abort the shutdown, hope that helps.
My whole school server gets it luckily I escape. Anyway it will only shutdown if u try getting onto the net so do this if u want to d/l the patch and don't wish for the comp to shutdown.

[Bsalez]

At last can kill every single of this*!!@ on my comp ...for all of u who sent me letter feel free to send them again cause ur letter already burn out ok Arigatou na Minna

Normally, I wouldn't post warnings of viruses, worms and such. However, I just received three e-mails containing this worm on my Japanese drama trading e-mail account, which only Jdorama.com members and people I've traded with would know.

To summarize... It arrives in your mail box as an attachment, usually either a PIF or ZIP file containing a PIF. There's also reports of other extensions being used, such as EXE and SCR. The ones I received had either "hi" or "hello" in the subject header. The name of the file doesn't seem to matter just yet. I deleted the files before I could catch the names.

Refer to the links above for more up-to-date information. And please update your anti-virus software to the latest updates.

Its causing havoc to my inbox because so many ppl have the d-addict email address ug.

[Pemu]

I use school's email account, they have spam/virus filters, safe

A trojan hit my comp while as I was browsing at *censored* 4 days ago. The good old Norton was there to protect me.
I haven't had many viruses before, approx 6 total.

[deleted_user]

is there by any chance that virus spread through BT?
Is BT safe from the spreading of virus?
I'm curious about it and my father advice me to stop dowloading because of the new virus mydoom.B.

I really hope I can continue downloading ... so is BT safe from virus?
pls let me know...

[niko2x]

First take precautions, have you updated your virus protection and/or firewall? I've updated both my norton and still downloading/uploading with no problem. when a worm comes up, norton tell me it tries to come in my machine, but just disallow it.

just do your update and i think you should be fine.
