Topic: eMail Wurm warnung Nyxem.E

[ChaosEmpire]

Hi Friends,

On to the Alert !! 
The News agencys here in the US or putting out Bulletins advising people of a New Internet Worm released 2/3/06. It is named  Nyxem.E. It comes in mainly thur E-mails and E-mail attachments. It corrupts W32 files, locks programs and will lock computer. This must be big because the Local news is even warning people in thier broadcast. My internet security provider McAfee even sent me a warning, about this new worm !

        I did not want to send this thur E-mail direct to you, cause I usally dont open any E-mails, unless they are from business that I am expecting E-mail from.

         Thought you might want to get the Warning on the Forum, so no one gets hit with this Worm. Your Acct name will get more attention than mine !

        I will be on later, got to finish an engine job today, so i will not be able to check messages or play til late today.

         Have a nice day My Friend          Satye

'u'?  warm and happy as can be, hiding between 't' and 'v'!

(not true, I don't watch TV).

On the subject of virus warnings, I had a friend over, and he borrowed my computer, and searched the singles dating web pages, and sudenly I had a virus.  notepad and rundll32 and regedit were GONE.  What else was gone I couldn't be sure.  Running a virus remover didn't cure me of grief, so I installed the OS again (Win98SE).  (in medical parlance, SE's are 'side effects' meaning bad things that happen from the medicine, and win98SE is a SE from hell.)  Upshot, sound has been garbled and fractured ever since.  Re-installing the BSP from the Mobo CD, no cure. Still hunting.  Symptom: "Carry any more.  I can't" and fragments repeating many times over (imagine the last 1/3 of the laughter from Summoner, 100 times over).   Moral: loan out your computer no more than you'd loan out your daughter!
