I've been telling everyone to get a Mac. Mac's don't get viruses as most viruses are .exe files....exe files can't run on Macs.

Learned Ones:

I had this "virus" happen today (Monday), but got through it like everyone else with the patch. Now, when I finally got into my e-mail, I found a ton of "returned" messages purporting to be from me (never sent them, don't know the recipients).

These messages purport to be from my system's "mail administrator", but who knows. I've had some of these before, but never a whole bunch like this. Is this a weird other virus that seizes one's address book and sends out mail? Or just SPAM of some sort that pretends to be returned mail?

Any info would help, thanks!

I just sprayed my computer with OFF! It contains DEET. That should do the trick.

Finally back online after six hours.

Comcast has been MIA (no DNS) most of the night here in Oregon City. Coincidence? I doubt it, hope they spent some of the time shoring up their defenses.

Our machines are behind two firewalls and we're up to date with Microsoft and Norton updates so we apparently were not at risk, but we seem to have felt the effects here locally.

Hello

Could someone reply in here...I need some help

I read in the paper that Microsoft has a PATCH for this new virus.

I went to the web-site that it had listed...but I do not see thePATCH on there.

Could someone direct link me to where this patch is located and tell me what it says...in other words what I am looking for on that web page?

THanks ahead of time...

Please reply on this thread....not in private email or private message.

Thanks Ahead Of Time

Appreciate It....

.45MAN's company hit in Atlanta. All of the computers at his company are infected. This is a very malicious code.

I went to Microsoft to download the patch, but apparently I don't need it?? because I'm running Windows ME. At least there's SOMETHING good about Windows ME. Both my children are running XP in their computers, and both got the virus.

Folks, if you don't know it, unplug your modem when you are not using your computer. What many people don't realize, is that even though you turn your computer off, your modem is still accessible if it is plugged in.
