Black Worm?!

Black Worm?!

I just got this email...
ZoneAlarm® Antivirus will protect you against the BlackWorm (MyWife.d) scheduled to attack this Friday, Feb. 3, 2006

Severity: High Risk

BlackWorm is a new and potentially destructive Internet worm currently making its way around the globe. It is infecting users via e-mail and is scheduled to destroy all Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, PSD and ZIP files on Feb. 3.

Here is a link I found about it. It looks rather nasty.Link

Your addy is in your profile. If you would like, I can put a few together and e-mail them to you. You can use them if you want and toss em if you don't. Give me an idea of colors you like, though; or should I just take the image from the pants?

Aimzzz . . . you suck.

I actually like the colors I had . . it made it easy to see my posted and slap my forehead, "I said what!?!?!"

Maybe I should start a thread to pick my avatar colors/themes/etc.

A contest!

Ooooo. SD I actually like that.

Looks like Aimzzz was right after all. I am humbled.



SD, maybe something a little brighter? Maybe I'm not sucha a dark jedi but more of a tad darker than most but with a penchant for sarcasm.

Tonight I'll try to do something a bit brighter, Zubaz. In the mean time, I have sharpened the contrast a tad on this one.

To return to the topic for a bit . . .

How about that worm, huh?

All that backup last night . . . and nothing.

Nuts!

I found this bit of info on another MB that I read, decided to share it here, because, well here is home, LoL

However, many users of infected machines have cleaned up their act, according to Messagelabs. It estimates the worm is currently live on 20,000 IP addresses, suggesting 20,000 individual home users or organisations worldwide are currently infected by Kama Sutra, a big fall from earlier this week. MessageLabs has seen worm 'clean-up' from approximately 11,000 IP addresses a day.

"This virus was created purely for malicious intent, unlike the majority of viruses we see today that are instead looking for backdoors into people's machines to send spam or steal data. We are hopeful that this does not indicate a return to destructive, nuisance viruses. However, this virus writer did do one good thing, intentionally or not, he or she provided a two week window before activation of the payload to destroy data. This has allowed many smart computer users and businesses an opportunity to disinfect their machines and hopefully take protective measures" MessageLabs senior virus technologist Alex Shipp said.

Anti-virus firm McAfee also says Kama Sutra will have a minimal impact on computer users. It estimates a maximum of 15,000 machines in the US are infected.

By the way, Since backing up was mentioned..::laughs:: Heres a program that has been deemed one of the best for "Backing-up" WinBackup - and apparently it is now completely free.. Link
Incase any of you need a back-up prog other than MS's...

#1 Have to agree with the lady, too much glare
#2 I kinda like it. Are those pants backgrounds?
#3 Has a taste of teh OM I started out with, but give me a Led Zepplin feel. I'm not sure I'm that cool.

So many choices . . .

You know . . . the current WC poll has been around for a while . . . I can't decide . . Maybe a call to T-Man is in order?
