severe virus attacks

Postby badpolarbear » Thu Mar 04, 2004 9:27 pm

As of today Sympatico.ca has been warning of severe virus attacks and are warning people to be aware of anything that has ZIP on the end of it. Toronto Public Libraries 780 computers were hit with the virus yesterday. I strongly recommend MailWasher.net a free program. Daniel

Simply use a good Anti-Virus Program and keep it updated and running.
