|
|
There is a new virus infecting computers. It's supposed to kick in this coming Friday. The message subject is usually sexy like: Miss Lebanon 2006, Best Video Ever, etc..etc...
This virus is especially vicious because it doesn't just simply delete programs, pics and so on, it overwrites them. If you really want to be sure, it's been suggested that you start backing up your files now.
Read up on it and take the necessary precautions.

| Old school virus... nasty... I've backed up all of my word, excel and acrobat files just in case it's slipped past my virus checker. Still, I haven't opened any porn emails lately ;), so fingers crossed I should be ok. |
