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 (edited by Hiryuu-neko on 06-15-04 06:18 PM) |

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. | |||

Bella: More than likely, your subscription expired and they want you to shell out $30 for a new one. I say f that noise and download AVG's Virus Scanner for free. |

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 | |||

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. |
