Have I not been saying this would happen? Hope you enjoy a clogged network...

Also I dont give my screen name to every person on the net. I only give it to people that I know will not aquire a virus and not intentionally send me one.

depends on what needs to be accomplished and how well one adapts to certain lines of technology.

there was an AIM targeted virus i saw run rampant a few weeks ago. it sent messages over aim saying "How do i look?" followed by a link containing the virus.

the easiest way to ensure you never get a virus like this is to not be such a n00b and click on everything people link you to.

operating system between the two.

Keep in mind that just because very few people try to code virii for OS X doesn't mean they could anyway. The Unix permission system makes it almost impossible for malicious code to damage your system. Of course, that's excluding a braindead user putting in their admin password.

Yea, lots of people have them, I get them sent through AIM all the time.  I click on it anyway, even though I can tell its a virus (by the file extension), because It won't affect me.

I'm gonna laugh when you get a virus just for being so stupid.
I believe he has a mac. So it really won't effect him, since most AIM viruses are MS-DOS applications. So, gg.


Linux, just as virus free as macs, and free.

What?....they avtually send infected hardware through the mail to people now??? Awesome!


Anyway, I already put the virus fix 1) on a thumbdrive and 2) on my own hosting. This way it wont be blocked/ I can do it off my thumbdrive, but my CA, who obviously had the virus had the checker tell her she didnt have it. It's a new virus me-thinks.

Disconnect the internet line. It can't sign into msn then. And as for the blocking the fix sites, just burn the fix to a cd or save to disk or whatever from another comp and do it the old fashon way. That is if you can find the fix.


ps
housecall.antivirus.com is a good free online scanner/remover if you can get to it....
