Virus Hunting...

Actually, I was doing some security scans - came across this virus: W32/Opaserv-F in the wild...

More than a few machines I've come across have been infected... More than 1 is bad to me...

So, go check c:\ and make sure there isn't a file called: gay.ini

If so - bingo - you've got it too...

Why?

Do you have Filesharing on? Thru Windows Networking?

Is your computer on the internet?

IF you said yes to both those questions...

Shut off the filesharing through network properties...

Get a virus scanner too!

Really...!

Firewalls are nice as well... There are a few freebies available... Do a search for free firewall...
