RE: Here you have, ;o)
Osamu, Since i'm an outlook user i'd like to point out these 'patches', i'd refrain from using that word in this context, are the most BRUTE piece of programming i ever witnessed. Bill must have done it in some spare time, imagine i can't even exchange .exe files ! GREAT PATCH, actually it really isn't a patch, it's Absurd and idiocy to even WRITE such a great thing one can't even UNDO ! Sorry to get carried away again but i'd propose to bring in Amnesty International and start a trial against M$ for the worldwide aggrevation, and ongoing mental torture it has caused. -Original Message- From: Osamu Aoki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 6:24 AM To: Joris Lambrecht Cc: 'D-Man'; debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Here you have, ;o) Hi folks, This ;o) virus does not affect current patched MS OUTLOOK.

Re: Here you have
Actually, that was a highly irresponsible thing to do. I do use Microsoft Outlook and Netscape both, and I am subscribed to the Linux User list because I am trying to set up a Linux system at the place I work. It would be nice to know if I have a new virus, considering that you may have sent one out. And as far as it goes, yes I do use protection, but there are limits to how good protection can be. I think I may have to give up linux rather than further risk my company's computer. Which is too bad, since that means that the school where I have an informatics lab will not have linux. They will instead have to use Microsoft, which will in turn encourage students to approach the dual problems of copyrights and piracy (both of which I consider to be evils in their own right.) Oh, well.

I think I may have to give up linux rather than further risk my company's computer. the reasoning-logic behind the last sentence seems a little weird and far-fetched to me... If you are worried about getting infected from this list, why not use a decent MUA that doesn't expose you to these kind of risks. Especially under linux, there are several choices. Generally, I guess that you'll suffer from a much higher vulnerability when carrying on using stuff like Outlook. just my 5 cents, Erdmut Which is too bad, since that means that the school where I have an informatics lab will not have linux.

It would be nice to know if I have a new virus, considering that you may have sent one out. I am afraid this is possible. Sorry. And as far as it goes, yes I do use protection, but there are limits to how good protection can be. Considering the viruses that came up lately, I think the best protection scheme is to stop using Outlook. I understand that for Windows the mailing program Eudora is safer. I think I may have to give up linux rather than further risk my company's computer. I would draw another conclusion. Tragically, you were infected via a Linux discussion list (again, I assume and hope, that the virus submission was an accident). However, you could equally well have been infected by other sources (friends, who use Outlook and have your adres in their Outlook address book). The reason that you were infected, and most of the other participants of this list were not, is, that you used Microsoft and Outlook. Therefore, if I were afraid for this kind of viruses, I would choose the operating system that is is less vulnerable (i.e. Linux) I am sorry for the virus problems that you may currently have and wish you good luck, Paul Huygen.
