Well, seeing how I just had all 4 wisdom teeth removed, I'm going to have
a lot of spare time for the next few days, so I'll volunteer.  Please send
your city, province/state/etc, and country to me off-list at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  Please make sure you reply off-list, so don't
just hit "reply" to this message.  If you read this list regularly via the
archives without being subscribed to it (as I know at least a few people
do), please contribute as well, and just let me know in your e-mail that
this is primarily how you read the list.  After a week or ten, when the
responses have pretty much trickled down to nothing, I'll post the
breakdown to the list.

Thanks!

I would love to see the show -- it would give me great reason to turn on
the TV. But it seems I have to go to Brazil to see it, and that is about
as difficult for me as going to Slovenia to see the new Pentax body.

Re: TIAZINHA.JPG.pif attachement is a virus - long description

2001-02-07 Thread IronWorks

For those who are interested in the details:

My Norton AV caught it and reported it to be the W95MTX.dr virus, which is
described at http://www.hig.se/~dhe/security/sec00/WarnVirus.htm as follows:

"This virus is spread by E-mail to Windows 95 systems. If you receive double
E-mails, even from people you trust and communicate with often, then WATCH
OUT! The second E-mail (which comes 2 seconds after the first and contains
no subject or text) contains just one attached file. This attachment can
have different names such as BILLGATES.JPG.PIF, TIAZINHA.JPG.PIF,
FUCKING_WITH_DOGS.XXX, JIMI_HENRIX_MP3.XXX, etc.
DO NOT DOUBLE-CLICK ON THE ATTACHMENT!! Doing so will unleash the virus.
You must delete the E-mail containing the virus and then direct your E-mail
reader to permanently delete the E-mail and it's attachment. If you run
Eudora, this can be accomplished by clicking Special/Empty Trash to get rid
of both the E-mail and the attached file which contains the virus. You
should then run an antivirus program such as Norton Antivirus (used at HiG)
or F-Prot. Make sure that the antivirus program has been recently updated so
that it can catch this new virus.
If you have already double-clicked on the attached virus file, then DO NOT
send any more E-mail! Your E-mail reader will appear to run normally but you
will send virus-attached files to all the people you correspond with (making
them quite angry). Unfortunately, the W95.MTX.dr virus will also damage your
Win95 operating system, causing it to behave strangely. The warning "Program
XXX has attempted an illegal operation" will pop up unexpectedly and some
windows will crash, causing you to loose the document or mail you were just
writing. You will probably have to reformat your C:-drive and reinstall
Win95 from scratch!! "

It is also described at Symantec at
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/291516080306&src=n
