Hi all, I thought I'd just post a quick note (and warning) about some messages sent to the MySQL list with a virus attached. First of all, these are the messages: The message was titled 'Re: escape character for # sign?' The message date was Tue, 16 Jan 2001 19:40:53 +0800 (CST) The message identifier was <00c101c0681e$b20a4920$[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The message sender was [EMAIL PROTECTED] The message was titled 'configuration' The message date was Tue, 16 Jan 2001 19:40:09 +0800 (CST) The message identifier was <000801c0681e$97966f60$[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The message sender was [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Output from my provider's virus detection at mail server, in case you're wondering.) Anyway, the virus is the W32/Navidad virus, which only affects Windows systems (all you Mac/UNIX users can come out from hiding now...). If you got bitten (or to see if you have unknowingly), check this out: http://service1.symantec.com/sarc/sarc.nsf/html/W32.Navidad.html There is also a fix provided by Symantec here: http://service1.symantec.com/sarc/sarc.nsf/info/html/W32.Navidad.Fix.html Regards, ------------------------------------------------ Basil Hussain ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
