Mbak Niken Saya rasa mereka bukan sengaja memforward virus tsb, virus itu kirim sendiri. Dibawah ini saya ada lampirkan penjelasannya. Regards Fenny Halim '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' [EMAIL PROTECTED] WARNING: NEW COMPUTER ATTACK PROGRAM - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Warning! Virus! Worm! Those are ominous, lethal-sounding words that perhaps not coincidentally help sell newspapers. Should we be panicking about Worm.Explore.Zip? It is the latest computer attack program, the third major bug to sweep across the Internet since March, when the Melissa virus spread through e-mail. The short answer is no, don't panic, but please DO be cautious about opening attachments to e-mails, especially if you work on a corporate network. Home users are less likely to be infected by this latest bug. Here's what we know so far about it. 1) Worm.Explore.Zip is far more dangerous than Melissa was, because it actually destroys valuable files in such common Microsoft programs as Word, Powerpoint, and Excel. 2) It shows up as an E-mail attachment--ostensibly from someone you know. 3) It will not spread as quickly as Melissa, which mailed itself to 50 computer users at a time. 4) Technically speaking, this attack program is called a "worm" rather than a "virus" because it spreads from computer to computer through networks. It generates a response to each incoming e-mail. By contrast, a virus spreads by inserting itself into files on a computer system that are then passed along. 5) Worm.Explore.Zip is (so far) known to attack only computers using the Microsoft operating systems Windows 95, 98, and NT. Macintosh and Unix systems apparently are not affected. 6) What it does: a) When you open an e-mail attachment labeled zipfiles.exe (see detailed description below) it creates another program named explore.exe. b) That program-explore.exe-embeds itself on your hard drive, and launches every time an infected computer is restarted. c) The program hunts through the hard drive and wipes out the contents of documents, spreadsheets, and files created by Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. It erases the files, reduces them to "0" bytes. d) It uses e-mail software to send a copy of itself to the address of any e-mail that arrives. How to protect your computer: a) The program arrives in an e-mail with this text: "Hi (your name)! I received your email and I shall you a reply ASAP. Till then, take a look at the attached zipped docs. Bye." b) Do not open this attachment! c) Delete the e-mail. d) Update your anti-virus software. e) As a general rule, scan all e-mail attachments carefully. ---------- From: Padmorini, Niken AIS[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 21, 1999 1:38 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [balita-anda] Korban Virus ZippedFiles Tapi mengapa Endang Wartiningsing juga mengirim file yang berisi Virus tersebut ke alamat saya ??
