Author Topic: VIRUS ALERT!!!!! Reboot Common sense is neither common, nor sense. posted                           Sorry to let "real life" intrude, but I got snagged by this earlier on... Any and all Win NT/2000/XP users should IMMEDIATELY go to http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-026.asp and download the patch within (especially, but not exclusively if you've been getting "Remote-Procedure-Call" errors that have been forcing restarts. Then, its a cure, otherwise its preventative). Next, update your anti-virus software and run a full system scan. Look here for more info, or if you don't have an updatable anti-virus program installed. -------------------- My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I've bought and installed a new VirusScan just in case. Thanks, also to Portfolio Boy for pointing out the possibilty as well.

Upgrade Messenger if you use it, kill it if you don't.

I thought my computer was about to DIE. It fucking sucked. Please, please, if you're reading this and running Windows XP, 2000, or NT IMMEDIATELY go and download the patch! This virus sucks nasty ass. We should sic Drura on whoever the bastard was who created it. -------------------- White. A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So... many... possibilities.
