How can you tell if you have the virus?
|
Windows 98 is my favorite OS. All it needs is a better interface and I'd be good to go. I think you can download a Windows XP style for it. It's a shame my dad would die if I placed Windows 98 on this computer.

Not Norton. McAfee! =D
Eh, I like both. People will say otherwise about Norton, a lot of people will, but I think it's just as good as McAfee. This statement is reversible for McAfee as well. | |
Here's everything every one has said, compiled into a nice little list. BTw, noone has said it's name. It's called KamiSutra. I've just finished scanning my comp, and I don't have it.
Apparently, it started out through porn e-mails, and has spread throughout the world. It will wipe ALL of the following files at midnight tonight: DMP - Oracle files DOC - Word document MDB - Microsoft Access MDE - Microsoft Access/Office PDF - Adobe Acrobat PPS - PowerPoint slideshow PPT - PowerPoint PSD - Photoshop RAR - Compressed archive XLS - Excel spreadsheet ZIP - Compressed file nature After deleting these files, it will do this on the 3rd day of every month. Even if you haven't opened any compromising e-mails, I would scan your computer. There are a few websites that will do a free virus scan for you, and remove viruses it finds. | |

SYMANTEC, SCAN, KASPERSKY, VIRUS, MCAFEE, TREND MICRO, NORTON, REMOVAL, or FIX. So many antivirus programs, scanners etc... can not be updated or used on a system that is infected with cme-24." http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?storyid=1067 | |

Haven't had time to do a virus scan yet, I hate doing them, they lag the hell outta my computer =(
It takes about 48 minutes for me to scan, let alone handle any virus' found (and by handle, I mean send to AVG's built in "Virus Vault" ^_^) At the moment I'm running a scan and a disc cleanup. The text is very much lagging behind what I'm typing XD Flame Sage wrote: AVG If your a cheepscape with no cash.Hey hey now!

Even then, everything's replaceable =P I'll probably be safe though, I don't get porn emails =P (not that i open anyway XD) | |
The problem with this worm is the doc (MS word files and so on) files. Think of the thousands of children, workers, teachers and so on who have lost coursework, essays, account logs...
| |
I meant on my own computer, I know this is devestating for those people =o
All they can do now is hope they have backups and decent virus protection =( | |

My Java teacher says it could activate if you delete the email too. Did you delete them? I doubt deleting it would set off the virus. How could it? All the sites- Microsoft, the BBC's site, and so on are telling people to delete them on sight, too. | |
I hit to send it to the spam thing, so no, I don't delete it. I let hotmail deal with it ^_^; anyway, scan finished, i'm fine.
| |
Haha. then it infects hotmail and -No one- will be safe! your a genius, JMT! =D
Just kidding. :P If I see it I'll Delete it on site. | |
