[Boatanchors] Virus stuff

Sat, 30 Nov 2002 14:59:47 -0600

I would relax, guys. The virus checker is doing the right thing. It found an
'email' with k~lez attached and deleted it. IMO, any email with a virus
attached these days is fictitious. There isn't a shred of information
included. The header and body are 'spoofed' or false. My provider does not
scan emails citing some 'freedom of speech' BS...who's freedom?
Accept the fact that k~lez was found and deleted and did not get a chance to
damage your system.
Automation is good in this case.

 Hi,

 > W32.Klez.H@mm        Most of the viruses that begin W.32Klez are
 nothing but
 >
 > hoaxes. If you fall for them and do what is said to get rid of
 them, you do
 nothing more than screw up your own operating program.  What you
 effectively
 do is give yourself the virus.

 Before going off half cocked as I and many others have, do a hoax search.
 You will usually find that is a hoax, and only a hoax. If it was the real
 thing, you would receive
 instructions to bend over and kiss your hard drive goodbye!

 73 and Happy Thanksgiving!
