Very important -- this guy's (ben1) email contains a virus that will fuck your computer up if you're using any Windows-based mail reader -- I don't think from looking through the source that it will permanently damage your machine, but here's what it does
1. Installs a program to run at Windows startup to re-infect your machine. 2. Changes your e-mail signature to include HTML code that includes the virus as a script. So anyone who gets the e-mail will be infected, and can spread it. 3. Makes a startup item that keeps windows from starting up. To avoid being infected there is only one way in Outlook to get rid of the message without showing the message and infecting your computer. 1. Open the View menu and select layout (alt-v alt-l) 2. Uncheck the 'Show preview pane' option. 3. Hit OK. 4. Look for any message from this guy: From: Ben1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: 313 <313@hyperreal.org> Subject: (313) Carl Craig CD'S And delete it WITHOUT DOUBLECLICKING ON THE MESSAGE FIRST! This is a REAL THREAT! If you want to look at the text of the virus, it's at http://avalon.net/~kent/virus.txt I replaced all occurrences of the SCRIPT tag with SCR*PT, so it should be safe to look at, but DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK, ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!! kent williams -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, 9 May 2000, Ben1 wrote: > > Hi there can anyone send me a complete list of carl craig's cd's including > any imports as i think i'm pretty close to completing my collection.
