Guest IT Manager Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 pif, zip, exe, com. Don't automatically click them. It will be either Netsky or Bagle. Delete them, then install at least one virus manager, and a firewall. And don't send me any emails please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francois Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 hi' refer to the last alert I posted recently ... sounds like netsky ... and follow the advice of anyone who says, "what the he#l", "you don't have any antivirus!? ...get one and update it everyday! ... goodness, I can't believe this " protect yourself francois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuky Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Would love to know how you all worked out Stumonster does not have a virus scanner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francois Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Would love to know how you all worked out Stumonster does not have a virus scanner? may be simply because any antivirus software even the worst of them would give an alert on an attachement in .pif extension ... or may be the software gives you an alert when you give a click on the file.pif anyway, if present it's completly useless for 2 possible reasons, no recent update, or/and no virus scanning of mail attachement, in both case, either change it ... or change it some programs don't scan mail-attachement if they are not coming through outlook like Kapersky ... francois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
