The
Sober Z virus will hit tomorrow(Thursday) and Friday. ("Why?") 'cause
it is the 89th anniversary of the founding of the Nazi party. (Honest!)
This will flood the internet with bad stuff.
I put up a fix from Symantec:
http://s29.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1J5XGX5...E41H367OX0J9PZ0
The file is only 179kB in size, so dialupsters can use it as well!!
Download this, and run it. It will tell you if you're infected, and
will fix the problem.
Please be VERY VERY careful of any e-mail you get, even from people you
know. The next few days will be very bad!

This is a worm.
So it starts in (I'm guessing) people e-mail address books. It uses all your e-mail addresses, and sends everyone an e-mail. All they have to do is open the e-mail. (apparently NOT an attachment!!) And they are hijacked to one of about six websites, with all this Hitler crap on it. The goal of the authors seems to be to bring the internet to it's knees with all this unwanted traffic, and spread a lot of hate around.
Goodie.

My pleasure Marbin.
Some things that will help. Avoid Microsoft Outlook, and Internet Explorer. The worm is most likely written for these. So if you don't use either, and get the virus, so what?
My e-mail all comes and goes, either through here, Yahoo, or work (which is Novel). For the internet, I use Mozilla Firefox. It is freeware. Now I do have IE on my machines, but I doubt it will launch it, if you're not already using it.
I don't know what the virus's e-mail would look like. (for example, if say Angelo got the worm, and you and he had exchanged e-mails, you would get an e-mail from him, that he actually did not send. ) I don't know what that would look like.
So anyway, be super careful of e-mails, for the next few days, and if you use anti-virus software, be sure to update it tonight!

Forgive
me Marbin. Sometimes I forget who I'm talking to.
I got the fix, and wanted to make it available to our members. I know,
you can NOT ever completely remove the damned IE, which ALWAYS leaves
you at risk. I'm behind a hardware firewall, and run Symantec almost
daily.
And use Firefox almost exclusivly. (oddly enough Lee Soo Young's page,
and KBS's page won't completely work, with Firefox... LSY's photos are
to die for!)
This seemed to be a particularly bad one.
I'm glad it's almost the weekend...
