Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Howdy folks, My computer was infected with not one, not two, but 3 virus' simultaneously (please, don't even give me the lectures - I know, I know ) .. SO I cleared them out, and its still not well, but I am working on it, so if you've been trying to reach me, or wondered why you haven't heard from me, OR got a strange e-mail from me (but not really from me) its cause of that. Hopefully it'll be back to normal soon! *Smile* Chris (list mom) Bath Cookie Kits - A Great Gift http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 ROFLMAO . too true, too true!!!! .. *sigh* and Bill Gates is the richest man on the planet . sadly proves that you don't need to make the best product possible to make the most money possible .. Another downside in the land of computers is that I've used Netscape too and although it seemed less prone to viruses .. it was also less prone to work well at all ;-p *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Sandy Fields [diamonique] Monday, September 30, 2002 6:20 PM ; Re: My Computer Became Ill At 08:02 PM 09/30/02, chrisziggy wrote: >Howdy folks, > >My computer was infected with not one, not two, but 3 virus' >simultaneously (please, don't even give me the lectures - I know, I know > ) ..

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 I knew *somebody* had a nasty virus, cuz my Zone Alarm Pro has turned away 185 hits today from unidentifiable probes. - Sandy Fields ; Monday, September 30, 2002 7:20 PM Re: My Computer Became Ill At 08:02 PM 09/30/02, chrisziggy wrote: >Howdy folks, > >My computer was infected with not one, not two, but 3 virus' >simultaneously (please, don't even give me the lectures - I know, I know > ) ..

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Yep, something icky is going around these days for sure! If it's not my child bringing home the " green boogey snots " from school, it's my computer bringing home it's version of " the clap " And for the record, I did clean up the infections a couple of days ago, and have the anti-virus software running full force, now it's just getting the computer over it all and figuring out which program is still messed up because of it But I did go into my task manager and ended a few processes that were running oddly and it REALLY seemed to help! (I can actually get through typing an e-mail AND send it without the system going hairy on me! YAY) *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Leela [leelagold] Monday, September 30, 2002 8:13 PM Re: My Computer Became Ill I knew *somebody* had a nasty virus, cuz my Zone Alarm Pro has turned away 185 hits today from unidentifiable probes.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Chris, you're not the only one.... the hits to my computer may have been from about 20 other folks who've told me the same thing... that they've been " infected " by a new form of the Klez virus. They always apologize all over themselves, but there's no way to tell that you've been infected unless your machine starts going bonkers, or somebody tells you about it. The hits to my computer aren't traceable, so I have no idea where they're coming from. My computer has been infected only once, and that was about 9 months ago, with the klez32 virus. It ate almost all my graphics program before I could shut it down. The jpegs themselves were OK, but the program they ran on was junked. I had to have the hard drive wiped clean and reloaded. The bad thing too, was that AVG virus protection grabbed the virus itself, but apparently, this virus releases a " worm " that once out, goes through your drive even though the virus itself has been quarantined. Royal pain in the butt. Good luck to you, on getting it trapped and fixed! You have my true sympathies!!!

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Oh sure! Like I REALLY want a computer that even when its working just fine can't send compatible files to folks ( " Hey Jess, I can't open that file you just sent me " . sound familiar? ) and can't use most of the software out there ;-p . Apple had its chance and they blew it with stupid business issues *Tppppt* Chris (list mom, who is razzing my longest friend here of almost 25 years *giggle*) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Jess [sarcastabitch] Tuesday, October 01, 2002 4:37 AM Re: My Computer Became Ill on 9/30/02 8:02 PM, chrisziggy at chrisziggy wrote: > Funny, mine seems to be just fine Chris...hahem...in fact it's MACtacular...
