Guest Mike Indidginus Posted December 3, 2001 Posted December 3, 2001 Dudes, You should never open attachments from unknown sources anyway! That's the best virus prevention system available! Quote
Guest Elysium Project Posted December 3, 2001 Posted December 3, 2001 I am so happy I am on a Mac :-))))) Those viruses only affect windows :-))) Quote
Guest Quasarta Posted December 3, 2001 Posted December 3, 2001 I had badtrans.b@mm 2 weeks ago or so. If you preview pane is enabled, then your windows is infected the first time you browse your mail new mail without downloading the att. !!!!!!! N3Z, Your computer is probably infected plur Q Quote

tbe Posted December 3, 2001 Posted December 3, 2001 he he ! Elysium ! I'm on a Mac too... we're so safe with MacOS ! )) Quote
Guest Cpt_Shiner Posted December 3, 2001 Posted December 3, 2001 it exploits a vunerability in internet explorer that automatically executes some code when j00 open it...best bet is to get ie6 or failing that just go to a antivirus site and find out how to clear it, its pretty easy, worst thing about badtrans is the way it replicates...

Guest tequila Posted December 3, 2001 Posted December 3, 2001 yeah, I received a virus recently and as long as I don't reinstall norton, I can't open Outlook express, because it immediatly sends e-mail with the virus to everyone in my address book:-( fucking virus, I still don't understand why some people spend time creating them...

Guest phaeton Posted December 3, 2001 Posted December 3, 2001 yups, i got this virus too about a week ago and it has been sent to a LOT of other people :-/ luckily it wasn't that hard to remove, but it still sucks .. i guess i'd just better stop using outlook ... anyone knows another email program that is easy to use and a bit more secure?

Guest iNFi500 Posted December 3, 2001 Posted December 3, 2001 Its not when u receive the file u get infected, its when u click on it and activate it. Outlook is as secure as u let it be. First disable the -hide known file extention- option so u can see what extention the file actually has. Opening VBS, EXE, SCR(screensaver) from unknown sources is a no go. Standard .txt .mp3 .jpg can be opened 100% safely since no virus can be initiated through that. What also helps is opening/associate these files with Notepad by default so if you click on a disguished VBS script instead of running it the malicious source code is displayed. 100% safe since u don't activate/execute it. (Windows executes the VBS scripts by default). If u follow these guidelines U can safely uninstall a virus checker which consequently saves a lot of system resources... Quote
Guest dam10n Posted December 3, 2001 Posted December 3, 2001 tipworld have got it, i had it three times from them this afternoon! how pointless. Quote
Guest Mahoney Posted December 3, 2001 Posted December 3, 2001 Tequila: I did receive a virus from you´re mail rescently, arghh Quote
Guest tequila Posted December 3, 2001 Posted December 3, 2001 yes, but I received the virus from phaeton, it's not my fault:) Quote
Anoebis Posted December 3, 2001 Posted December 3, 2001 Hey, I had the virus from Phaeton too!! And from Stormbringer!! Argh, it seems to be a WORM!! KILLL IT KILLLLlllll Bom Shankar Anoebis Quote
Guest mE Posted December 4, 2001 Posted December 4, 2001 yeah nobody knows how to contaminate the macs. Macs get to look upon those viriuses with profound detachment and equanimity. It's always some microsoft thing. (which is a good thing) microsoft = god over computers. I don't finance microsoft... yet apple isn't much better as far as character goes. They'd be happy to have the monopoly and charge you money for the update that fixs the intentional bugs they created in their original software verisons. Wait a minute they already do that (MacOS X update 10.1)!!! Quote
ouroboros Posted December 4, 2001 Posted December 4, 2001 roxios go back. get it. fixes everything. virus. system crash. lost data. boot problems, whatever. worth its wieght in gold. Quote
Guest trancer Posted December 4, 2001 Posted December 4, 2001 i also recieved a virus from tequila..subject was etnica...anyway i was in school when i oppened it so i don't care..but tequila did you send it???? Quote
Guest tequila Posted December 4, 2001 Posted December 4, 2001 trancer: no idea, it seems that outlook sends the virus without warning me at all, but concerning the subject, it's weird, there was also a psytrance related subject in the mail that contaminated my computer. hehe, a virus created by a psytrance fan that randomly choose a psytrance subject for the e-mail? sounds weird. by the way, neither phaeton (i guess) or me has sent this virus on purpose.
