ken_cinder Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 And THAT is why I don't give out my email address.Too many idiots have hundreds of people stored in their contacts and/or email something to a person with like 50 carbon copies sent to others.This is how these viruses get spread so quickly. IMO people should need to get a liscence to use a computer, cause all the dumb people in this world are responsible for the internet being so insecure at a general level.
Thraxen Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 And THAT is why I don't give out my email address.Too many idiots have hundreds of people stored in their contacts and/or email something to a person with like 50 carbon copies sent to others. But if no one ever gave out their e-mail address then you would have no one to e-mail and thus no need for an e-mail account. Can't really blame people for having people stored in their contacts.
taratata Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 One has to be really really stupid to execute an email attachement without knowing what it is I didn't even imagine these types of viruses still worked

Soundboz Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 Thanks for reminding me to run my virus scanner
Weirdy Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 the only thing this flocken virus did to me was keep NIS from starting up on its own, and 1 more thing it did was that it stopped NIS from blocking all ads and pop ups
random guy Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 I too am having trouble with NIS...it keeps popping up and saying "can't read subscription data: you may need administrator privileges" but I am the only person using my computer. I too seem to be getting a few more popups than before...also I have this peice of spyware I can't remove called internet optimizer. Adaware keeps saying it can't remove it do you wanna remove it after a reboot...but when I reboot it scans again and finds nothing. Then next time I scan I find it again. GRRR. It's could well be unrelated to this virus tho.. coz I don't know if I have it.
