From: "]\\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[" To: Date: Fri 21 Sep 2001 15:30:28 -0400 ================================================ So far as I can tell, there's no way of knowing it's actually there (like a popup window or something), since it's not a destructive virus... Apparently the computer starts to bog down and run a little strange... my best suggestion is the one I'm sticking to... just keep the virus datafiles up to date, and keep your virus scanner running. This one virus (Nimda) has infected over 250,000 computers Worldwide this past week and a half... this by far makes it among the most widely spread and fastest-acting virii out there... so keep a heads up for it. The second most infectious virus out there at the moment is the SirCam virus, with 4200 worldwide reports of infected computers... so there's just a slight difference. ¤]\[][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?
