FBI assessing worm attack
A computer worm that spreads to both servers and PCs running Microsoft software flooded the Internet with data Tuesday, but the FBI said that, as of yet, it sees no link to last week's terrorist attack. Known as "Nimda" or "readme.exe," the worm spreads by sending infected e-mail messages, copying itself to computers on the same network, and compromising Web servers using Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) software.

Even the nopinationals web site is infected!

I'm glad I use a Mac, my computer is not affected by these types of viruses.

thanks, i think i got that virus. my computer seemed mighty but i wasn't doing anything with it. my internet also was slowed down. i'll update my viral software when i get home.

 

NAV Corp. Edition rocks. Update every ten minutes. And also kick out to clients on a scheduled time. Also nice pop up's on Virus "server" when a virus hit's the network.....well worth the price. I must say.

 

And that, people, is why I use Unix firewalls and servers.

Virus? What virus?

Oh yeah. I also NEVER open e-mail attatchments on my Windoze station. I have .doc, .ppt, and .xls viewers installed on my Unix station just for the purpose.

I only need Windoze for 2 reasons: Emulate client envirnments at work, and games at home. (And I use it to surf (behind the firewall) the web, too...

Time to run LiveUpdate...
