Folks, I recently discovered my computer was infected with a virus (actually a worm) called Wscript.KakWorm or VBS.KakWorm. I thought I should warn you as I may have inadvertently and unknowingly passed it on to you.
You need only be concerned if your E-mail program is Microsoft Outlook Express. It does not affect programs. Instead, it attaches itself to all outgoing messages via the Signature feature of Outlook Express. Norton Antivirus will detect it IF you have downloaded the recent data files, and you have checked "all files". If you have only checked "program files", Norton AV will not detect this virus (which is why I got it - dumb!). I don't know about other antivirus programs and their ability to detect this worm virus. This virus will shut down Windows on the first day of the month at 5 p.m. To learn more about it and how to get rid of it, go to this Internet site: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/wscript.kakworm.html If you don't understand things such as deleting a registry key (using regedit), get help from a computer expert. Hope this helps you avoid problems on the first of the month. --Steve Young
