Gerry Fox rang me last night. She has been having a lot of trouble with =
virus' & worms infesting her system and when she turned it on this =
evening, it said "what hard drive would that be, Gerry?" (actually "No =
fixed disk detected", which is possibly worse!)=20
She tells me that there is a contagious carrier in the Medwaeg e-group =
and I pass this along in good faith.
Anyway, with this in mind, I ran a full system check this morning. It =
took over an hour to check the 177,000 + files on my computor.
Guess what? Norton found no less than 37 assorted worms and virus', =
mostly kez and kak worms but there was a virus lurking in there too. Now =
quarantined and dumped, I take it I'm safe?
Please tell me I am.
The system is working OK, I backed up to CD and then rebooted & =
everything appears to be OK. Anything else I should be doing?
Regards,
Kim Siddorn.
The early bird may get the worm -
but the second mouse gets the cheese!=20
