It's been one of dem days
Lauderdale, Could you you paste it? I'd like to take it to work and show the boss. We can't stay on the internet long enough to check the e-mails
. Seems they haven't bothered to update NAV or XP patches since we got the computers last year. They do complain though, about how irratating the NAV update reminder is 'cause it pops up every day
. I did a manual delete of the file, but it reinstalls itself after about 5 to 10 minutes if your on the internet.
Ahhhh! The joys of owning a computer

I've got a magic window!
I got it yesterday. Did not know it was a virus. My computer kept shutting down when I got on the internet. Found the RPC file it infected and disabled it. I was able to then stay on line, not all the functions worked on my computer though.
Downloaded the remove tool and patch earlier today. All is well now.

Here is a link to the Microsoft patch page. Looks like they verify that ME edition is unaffected.

It looks like everyone may be affected by the worm eventually unless you take the extra steps to protect your computer. Check out this NY Times article -- http://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/13/technology/13WORM.html?pagewanted=1&th.
Now where is that patch?

Hello everyone,
Today's newspaper says that the versions of Windows OS that are vulnerable to the worm are:
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows NT
Server 2003
According to a computer expert, most of the problems could have been avoided had MS Windows users updated their Microsoft critical updates by clicking on the "Windows Update" feature from the Start button and updating their virus DAT files from whichever anti-virus software websites that they are using.
There are too many quacks out there who have nothing better to do than to mess up other peoples computer systems causing great damage just because they "can", or for whatever other reasons.
I am using Windows 98SE and so far have had no problems. My mom is using Windows ME and so far hasn't had any problems.
I understand that there are two fixes for the worm. One is to get the patch from MS and the other is to go to the Norton or McAfee website and download the second fix from there.
Good luck.
