This is just a warning to all 914 club members.
You may have a time bomb in your computer set to go off on February 3rd. A worm called Kama Sutra, aka Nyxem,Mywife,Blackdoom, Blackmal...Is set up to begin deleting files, and disable virus programs on that date. Check out the link to see if you may have infected your machine. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/27/bl...ckworm_warning/ |

look in the local users/software/microsoft/windows/run directory
if you see anything that doesnt look familiar or doesnt have Mircrosoft in it, delete it. also check out getting Microsoft Anti-Spyware software...it's a beta test (very good one indeed) on the http://www.microsoft.com/ site...it's on the front page. In order to use the software you must have a valid and legal copy of Windows XP. If you all need more help, lemme know. I'll help you out. I havent really looked into this worm specifically, but they're getting harder and harder to catch. Some worms are even being embedded into JPG files. If you need help, fill out a thing on my site. I usually do this stuff for free. I dont want you all to egt screwed over. If you casnt afford Anti-Virus software...let me know.(email me) If you dont have/cant afford a real copy of XP...email me. b |
