Radio Folks: PLEASE Do This
 
The SWEN Worm is possibly the nastiest email worm in history,
so I don't mind getting chewed-out for posting about it.

PLEASE run the Symentec fix at:

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/FixSwen.exe

You are perfectly safe to do so, and you will help out your friends.

Thanks,
Dave S.

David,

You would do much better in your quest to post the LINK to the
site rather than the .exe itself. Most folks are pretty gun shy
about directly downloading exe files! And they SHOULD be
gun shy about opening exe files!

So go to www.symantec.com/avcenter and you can find the
FixSwen link yourself if you are leery about clicking on an exe
link that immediately tries to download a program file.

Now.... back to deleting today's batch of 500 'Internet Patch'
emails of 106kb EACH. Argggggg

Dave: I don't keep any type of frequent contact list or mailbox list for
the very reason that it is the first thing attacked when a virus comes
along. I also keep Norton updated. However, it does not stop Bill Gates
from writing crappy programs.

In fairness, I think his software is a target because of who he is
and the envy of him, not the quality of the writing. Any computer
code open to networking can be "cracked" into; they do it to
his because he's the biggest target.

Yes Microsoft software is great. I love all that tax money being spent at
various government departments trying to make it all work. Why try to save
money, they are just going to spend it on another useless war.

I do miss those MS chatrooms. How am I going to keep in touch with all my
childhood friends? I do love it when they come to visit me.

love to your kids,

WacoJacko

....hey, anyone seen my other glove?

I'm getting over a 1000 per day and my ISP won't do anything about them
becasue they won't block Microsoft. I'mm on a dialup with catalog.com and
I'm ready to switch to a new ISP but I wish I didn't have to becasue I've
had this email address since 1995. I've got Outlook Express trying to
control and Norton strips the 106kb attachment but my email is now pretty
much like molasses in January and worthless. Any suggestions on a good ISP
with customer service and one that you don't get put on hold for nearly an
hour ever time and then the help is pretty much worhtless.
tnx
