tiger2k Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 I got an e-mail yesterday that was titled "please try again" and at first i was suspicies and didn't wat to read it, but then i decided to look at what it was cuz i had my antivirus running, when i opened the e-mail and checked the attachment and as soon as i did, the antiviurus got shutdown, and something started to download atomaticly, so i got offline, then i tryied to run the antivirus again, and when it opened it closed again and it got erased, well after 10 min of thinking i didn't want to re-start cuz something might happened, then timan reminded me off system restored, and thank god everything is back to normal, :alien: anyone heard of such a virus before?

Steven P. Administrators Posted April 30, 2002 Administrators Share Posted April 30, 2002 Never open attachments from untrusted sources, or even trusted sources without knowing what it is first. be sure to update your virus scanner at LEAST once a week. because they are coming fast lately.

PKHelloNasty Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 You all talk about useing AIM and complaning about ads, I was wondering if any of you heard about AIM+ yet. Its nice little program that works with AIM to remove ads, and keep a history of past messages sent from every user. Its the first third party add on to AIM that I actually find almost bugless. (A few problems with cloning of AIM, but i dont use that and i am fine) http://big-o-software.com/ (I would have screenshots, but the page seems to be down at the moment...) if its down, go here... http://discuss.big-o-software.com/ that works :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesseract Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Originally posted by Prof. Frink Learned your lesson about opening email from people you don't know huh? :p Sometimes the attachments are actually from people you know. They may have the virus, and it sent itself to your inbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger2k Posted April 30, 2002 Author Share Posted April 30, 2002 I just dont understand why anyone would spend the time to make a virus, why dont just take that time to develop a software that would actually help someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
