================================================ Subject: Re: Information About New Virus From: "DebbiR" To: Date: Tue 17 Apr 2001 22:03:20 -0700 ================================================ Indeed, I stand corrected. I do always check out either Symantec or Norton's research sites because they're totally cutting edge with information about new viruses -- often before they've even made it to the US. And they always have detailed info on curing or deleting the virus, as well as the boring technical information about how the virus works and what little security holes it uses to spread. Bleh, technical details!

The KAK worm is a virus that hides itself in the signature lines of Outlook Express, and infect your computer when you view the e-mail with the "quick-view" window. Outlook Express does have a security patch that prevents this particular virus from infecting you, but new ones are coming out every day. But this particular virus warning, as Debbie and Tara have both said, is totally imaginary... and I believe that I sent out the same message saying it was a hoax a little over a month ago... but since then, I've still managed to get the same virus "warning" like 7 times... guess some people just never think to check their sources... oh well. ¤]\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[¤ http://NightStorm.isyourgod.com/ NightStorm_Draco_@hotmail.com NightStorm_Draco@creedlist.com NightStorm@isyourgod.com I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine, Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind Human pride sings a vengeful song Inspired by the times you've been walked on My stage is shared by many millions, Who lift their hands up high because they feel this We are one We are strong, The more you hold us down the more we press on What if you did?
