Everybody should click on Yoriko's link and read the whole thing! This is a bad virus, but if you have really good anti-virus protection you should be ok. The Norton site gives you lots of good reasons to not use all the "popup" supposedly anti-spyware & anti-virus stuff that comes up free. If you're on the internet, you need good, paid anti-virus software. Norton's is good, Macafee also, and others I'm sure Meganne knows. Please do not be on the internet without these, and please know the sites you're going to! My Macafee has a site monitor that tells me if the site is questionable or 'red' before I get there. Please, please, if you do anything, BACKUP your files, and run good protection. You'll save money in the long run, not having to try and get your computer fixed when it crashes. Love you all, Marji
I'm going to save my files on an external disc. Thanks Yoriko. should we avoid downloading the april 1st ???
Thanks for the reminder, My husband warned me yesterday about doing a backup of my files today, we are doing a complete back up of the coumputers today as the virus will not be active until the 1st. We ususally back up files every wenesday but we are doing it before the scheduled day this time. *2U
Thank you Yoriko, there always has to be some screwball out there right !!! take care hugs G x0x0x0x
I had heard that this is one that even the geeks are fearing!!!
Thanks for the warning Yoriko. I just got one from a friend in Sydney too about another major virus called POSTCARD FROM HALLMARK. It is saying do not open even if you know who has sent it to you. It is a MAJOR VIRUS - DO NOT OPEN.
Love and blessings for keeping us on our toes. Love Chris
