Yup, my McAfee at work stopped the virus payload from launching thank god. NO PREGO CRIX!!!! I'll try to help Furious, I'm an IT manager by day that blocks tons of viruses from infecting my company daily.
Here's the lowdown on that virus: Name: W32/Badtrans@MM Risk Assesment: Medium now (Kind of destructive, but this used to be one of the top HIGH risk viruses late last year) Virus Library Info (NAI is McAfee's parent company): http://vil.nai.com specifically read this very carefully http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_99069.htm Removal: The best way is to get McAfee(or any of the others, f-prot is oldskool and good, but I consider McAfee the best after their buyout of Dr. Solomon's detection engine, the best there ever was), update to the latest virus DAT definition file and let it scan the entire computer. But to be thorough, follow the manual removal instructions on the vil.nai.com page for this virus i included above, that will get rid of it for good. Make sure you have this Micro$oft patch installed: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/q290108/default.asp Good Luck -LOS ----- Original Message ----- From: "Furious" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 6:19 PM Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: OT: Virus (not the synth - dont open if attachment is displayed)? > > yes, it was a virus... my computer anti-virus got it > > beware, crix.... kill the bastard! > > my virus prog wont even run without freezing up, i keep trying but it cuts > out somewhere along the line! > ho hum, i guess i'll keep trying unless someone wants to tell me the name of > the file or whatever if theres an easy way of sorting this out? im not very > technically minded where computers are concerned ;) > > --- > Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk > You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
