[RCSE] Virus info
I know this gets discussed from time to time and it is off topic but with us all passing emails back and forth on the web, its a relevant topic. If you do not have an Anti-virus program... GET ONE! It is the best money you will ever spend on a software package. I recommend Norton from Symantec but Macafee is supposed to be good as well. Norton (and Macafee I believe) include live web updates to your virus definitions for the first year as part of the purchase price. A subscription after that is about $5 a year and worth its weight in gold. If you don't think so, just wait until you lose everything on your PC due to a virus and then think about that cost. Virus makers are introducing new virus daily. By getting your virus definitions updated you can keep up with this nasty tide. A word to the wise is supposed to be sufficient so prove you are wise!

[RCSE] VIRUS, info, howto
FREE Antivirus software. http://antivirus.cai.com/ I have been getting hit by the W95.Hybris.gen. Also known as, W32.Hybris.gen, W32.Hybris.22528.dr, W32/Hybris.gen@M, I-Worm.Hybris http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w95.hybris.gen.html I like Symantec's site for Virus information. It appears it may be propagating from several people on this exchange! No wonder since it masks itself as "porno" material. :-) People it is very wise NOT to execute any attachment to email. This will include but not limited to files with extensions, EXE, VBS, SCR, COM. Even if you know the person, a lot of virus code will send out mail without the original senders knowledge. If you don't run a virus scanner get one. But remember this is not a guarantee. Hopefully it will just prevent you from spreading it. CA is giving theirs away.

Re: [RCSE] VIRUS, info, howto
Good advice to never, ever open an executable sent via email. he other day I got as report that one of my messages here generated a "virus alert", but a v-scan was negative. This List software should be configured not pass along ANY attachments. IMO, FWIW. Good holidays to all! --Bill On Mon, 18 Dec 2000 09:26:11 -0600 Steven Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: FREE Antivirus software. http://antivirus.cai.com/ I have been getting hit by the W95.Hybris.gen.
