[CGUYS] AntivirXP08
My brother in law did a video update from CNN this morning and ended up with AntivirXP08 problems. Does anyone have a simple cure? Is this really where the problem came from? Any help in ridding this from his computer (short of reinstalling WinXP, etc) would be appreciated.

But it sounds like he got one of those spam emails claiming to be a CNN Alert. Should tell him not to click on links in emails. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] AntivirXP08
I got one the other day, perfect, CNN saying that the US Government as going to subsidize citizens house payments. I did not resist... it said that my activex was not going to play that and there was one to download... I did... No CNN. The next day I did again and that AVG catch the malware. BE careful with interesting topics from CNN.
