General Chat / Virus Alert

  • Panoramical%s's Photo
    I recieved 4 emails yesterday into my inbox, from staff at RCT2, Hotmail and from members at NE. They come with an attachment and a message saying "Here they are", or "I await your reply", with attachments with filenames such as "Swimming Pool", or "Information". Be careful, the attachment is in fact a worm that will do nasty things to your computer :( If you don't have a virus scanner, get one at http://www.free-av.com

    That is all.

    If you're searching for a good virus scanner then use the above. It is even rated better than all of the Norton AntiVirus products. Plus, it's freeware, comes in many different languages and provides almost daily online updates which can easily and automatically be applied out of the program. Really something you should at least try out.

    There really is no reason that you need to use a virus program.
    I mean, the only reason you WOULD get virii is because of mal-email practises.
    I don't use one and I have never gotten a virus, and I am trogen free.
    All it requires is that you don't by stupid.

    People still use IE...and you can contract viruses from sites that exploit it [ IE ] or people who don't have shit like active-X diabled.
