Just figured you guys'd like to know about this...since my McAfee just blared me with this info:

W32/Zafi.b@MM is a Medium Rish mass-mailing worm that attempts to cripple anti-virus and firewall software. Up-to-date McAfee VirusScan users are protected from this threat.

I didn't get...at least yet...so any of you e-mailers might want to be on the lookout or might want to get those Scanners/Walls updated.

BTW: McAfee info on it

Hadn't got it yet on e-mail (and hopefully won't either) but I update Norton Antivirus just to be safe.

Hadn't been affected by e-mail viruses in years, the latest one that I got affected by (thanks to my dad) was Happy99 and that was years ago.

I'm pretty sure he means "medium risk". Besides, I never open spam e-mails, and NEVER download anything from them.

Eh, I always have difficulty trying to do that Live Update stuff for my Norton Anti-Virus. It hasn't been updated in more than 80 days ..I keep on telling it to wait one more day . Whenever I do try it, it says something odd or messes up.

I have Norton Antivirus, and it asks me every day to update. Every once in a while it waits 15, but it's still not worth $35 for nothing extra.

Well that sounds more like a "I want to cause trouble" virus than a "I'm gonna mess up your PC" virus, but the desired effect is still the same.

AVG is perfectly fine, it's updated regularly and it's pretty fast. Can't ask for much more for a home user.

Maybe that was causing the '1,4mb' AVG update from version 6.0.701 to version 6.0.702

Will this virus hurt a MacOS,
The computer that never ever used DOS?
That is the kind of computer I use
And lemme tell ya, it sucks like a bruise.
But it will get the job done for now.
Unless this virus can go and somehow
Destroy my stuff like said above
Making war, unlike... a dove...

I didn't get blaster, sasser, and code red (or was that blaster?)...but anyways, I haven't been running virus software for ages since I never go to at risk sites anyways. One more thing is I have web email, meaning I can't get email viruses that way

How you talk has no effect on me.
I talk as if I were some great guy to see.
And telling me how to talk makes you seem like Newt Gingrich,
Who, as we all know, acts like a great big [insert word of choice here].
Speaking of which, there's a funny song
Making fun of Rush Limbaugh and his bong:

"Don't let your kids use morphine,
'cause that can lead to grass.
But of course your views are really skewed
When your head is up your ass."

A great little tune that was,
And it was written with a great cause.

I'm going to tell you this one time: STOP DOING THAT. People were banned in the past for doing EXACTLY what you're doing. Badly.

Anyway, an open letter for you.

Stop opening attachments. No, really, I mean it.

Let's just say that my name
Is PMUser for a reason.
And trust when I say it's not
'Cause I'll get banned for treason.

Pretty soon, I now expect
That PMs'll be my only thing
That I will be able to use on this board
Without having to go proxying.

Get my drift? =P
