Warnings on the latest viruses and security/hacking issues and how to protect yourself.
Hey did you get an email that said
“Possible Virus – Check Your C: Drive“?
Congratulations. You’re an idiot.
Sulfnbk.exe was put in Windows98 to restore long filenames. It’s a hoax.
And you just deleted this file because one of your AOL “Forwarding friends” told you to.
For more information on this hoax, check out Antivirus.About.Com.
About ten of these emails have hit my inbox… and counting.
No sooner did I get this notification from Proland Software, that at least three of these emails turned up in our mailboxes at work.
I set my message rules to delete any mail with the subject that these worms have once I get these notifications.
I can’t recommend “Protector Plus” enough. I’ve used Norton Antivirus on several occasions and caught at least two viruses because their scan turned clean and I clicked on files I normally would never… they suck.
Be careful out there kiddies…
Redesign update: Thanx for all the positive responses, and thanks for all the the “Mother’s Day” submissions. There’s still more time to get those pics in. Deadline is Saturday afternoon….
I’m working out all of the Netscape/IE issues… and it’s going to be a while before the site is totally done.
10 More stores are added to the EG1 Shopping Center; including Cyberian Outpost, 24/7 Tickets, and E-Toys… more are expected, as I’m awaiting their approval for my site.
