    heads up..............................

    Security experts today issued a warning about a dangerous new virus that is spread via e-mail and takes advantage of people's curiosity and interest in the recent terrorist attack against the U.S. and the political fallout between Muslims and non-Muslims.

    I have felt that the code red virus was a Pro attack, because of its damage it may have been able to cause.

    Could code red virus have been a Bin Laden try to kill the internet, and screww up our economy? Seems plan B had about that same effect.

    Groan....

    It never stops

    My wife got infected the other day from a co worker e-mailing her his machine is infected and can't find a software to fix it.
    (stupid people)

    I directed them to download and run Trend's scanmail for Outlook. (problem fixed)

    I cannot stress the importance of updating AV frequently.

    My wife disables Mcaffee because it interferes with her music (skipping)

    As a result, infection spreads.

    Thanks for the heads up.
