Virus Alert-MAYBE

John Sabato · 11-26-2001, 11:10 AM

just on Thanksgiving break and haven't logged in since Wednesday... but curiously I also did not receive any of the email's that are carrying the latest revision of a .pif based virus... and I know that I was in Hugh's address book...

Virus definitions were last updated on the 24th by Symantec... everyone should download the latest definition file from their anti-virus vendor immediately and install it. I recommend that you do this religiously at least once a week... make it part of your routine if you don't want to lose your computer data to some creep who thinks creating a virus is fun.

NEVER open an attachment that you didn't expect no matter who it comes from even if you know them... that is the surest way to infect your computer...
