I agree. If you don't have Zone Alarm, get it NOW. There is a free version but I think the purchased version is worth the cost. And NEVER run without antivirus software installed. AND download updates to your virus definitions weekly, if not more often. Be religious about it.
Both of my computers stopped the viruses dead. Zone alarm renames suspicions email attachment extensions so they will not get executed without your interverntion. Norton antivirus finds embedded code and cleans the emails before you see them. -- Dennis McGrath mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Productivity Tools for R:Base Programmers http://www.enteract.com/~mcgrath/dennis -- Full time consultant with: SQL Resources Group Steve Hartmann Oak Park, IL mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of K Kleinman Zajac Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 7:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Re: Fwd: [Discussion] Fw: Worm Alert from the Wiseoldmule >> goner32 is NOT A MYTH! Just ask me. Thank Bill Downall for knocking me off the list while my machine was cleaned up. << goner32 is not a myth. I know that. The proposed "remedy" is. The ONLY way to keep yourself protected is to use an up to date scanner AND firewall that monitors OUTGOING traffic, AND to practice safe e-mail (eg deleting any unexpected, unverified files without even trying to scan it.)
