There is a new virus going around. But this one is trickier because it claims to be from your ISP and concerning your Internet Account. In the email it asks you to click on the link for more information. If you do, you get a virus. I did...and now I have a virus. Norton clears it right up though.

Over the past three days, I've downloaded three separate "virus definitions" due to warnings I've received from my home server, MSN, and now here.

All of these are for new, high-risk viruses with a wide distribution and terrible consequences. My cybertoy is "clean", but... :eek:

I wonder if...this could be another way in which terrorists may be attacking us? :?:

It could very well be. I have Windows set to automatically download any new program updates. For the past three nights it has downloaded some.

Well hacking type attacks are believed to be part of their tricks. Virus attacks could leave backdoors for them.

My e mail aint no security threat lol.. I know this really isn't funny.. I'm just trying to keep a sense of humor

Terrorists want to scare us, not necessarily kill us.

This brings up my issue in the Tests, Help, & Suggestions forum..... Anti-Virus Software Issue
