| VIRUS WARNING |
I don't normally spread spam like this, but this one is kinda serious. **************************************************************************** ******************************************** There is new virus spreading around. Although, it's fairly old, it has been revised, and it changed a bit over time. If you were to boot up your machine in the morning, and it says Windows, your machine is effected with a deadly virus. A very large games company, Microsoft reported yesterday at a new conference in Ohio, that this is to be taken seriously, and we need to act quickly. If you do come across this virus, you HAVE to do the following: 1.) Shut down the computer 2.) Get an unaffected Boot Disk, one that doesn't have windows on it, and put it in the stiffy drive 3.) Delete the windows folder of your hard drive 4.) Get a new, fresh copy of Linux, and install it. 5.) Spread this email as quickly as you get it. This virus comes in the following versions: Windows 3.1; Windows 3.11; Windows 95; Windows97; windows NT; Windows 2000; and Windows Millennium . Know effects are: * It fills your hard drives VERY VERY quickly. windows folders of about 400 Megabytes * BlueScreens when you wanto work * Unstable computers, that crash quite often * Nagging copywrite screens, which doesn't apply to anyone in particular * Random computer powerdowns * Most of the programs you wanto run, don't run very long, and you often loose hours of work. * You constanty need to upgrade the RAM, and Hard Drive space, although it's only a few months old This is a rather serious matter. If you need more info, please feel free to have a look at http://www.linux.com, and http://www.linuxhq.com **************************************************************************** ******************************************* Rudi Ahlers Unix specialist & Web Developer Bonzai Web Design http://www.bonzai.org.za
