This morning, I got hit with the latest worm virus. Somebody on this listerver has or had it. I received a message with an attachement called "zipped_files.exe" and unkowingly opened it. The virust replaced all of MS office files (Word, Excel, etc.) files with blank files, 0 kB.
The massage subject line was Re: IEC 61000-4-28, a message I posted ti this group a few days ago. The From field contained the name Mario Guiseppe or something close to that. I had no backus of my current work but fortunately I need only spend about 1 hour retyping for at least I ahve a paper backup. Has this happened a week later, I would have been much worse off because my next issue's of articles would have been much farther along. ---------------------------- /\ | Martin Rowe | / \ | Senior Technical Editor | / \ /\ | Test & Measurement World | / \ / \ /\ ____ | voice 617-558-4426 |/ \ / \ / \/ | fax 617-558-4470 | \ / \/ | e-mail m.r...@ieee.org | \ / | http://www.tmworld.com | \/ ---------------------------- --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
