Remember the SirCam virus from a while back? Well, you may want to do a little reading
Analysis of the worm's code indicated that on Oct. 16, the worm is coded to generate a number that has a 1-in-20 chance of matching a number contained in its code. If it matches, some experts said, an infected drive will be freed of all its files.
One problem in it however, there is an error in a crucial segment of the coding of the virus. Apparently the maker of the virus did not check his or her coding over again.
But... just to be on the safe side for all of you people that were not so lucky (that did not have enough common sense) and opened the file you were not expecting from someone that you don't know, the I suggest that you head on over to here and read... quite easy instructions as well.
Note that out of the 26 or so of them that I got in my inbox, I only received one of them correctly. It appears someone thought it would be a good idea to manually foward it to me.

That has got to be one of the best sites that I have seen for help with the Windows Operating system(s).
But still, not like any of the people that actually annoy me with questions via AIM or email will actually *read* anything that is there. By god, if they had to read, that would mean that they have to use their brain! And they don't want that to happen now do they?
MSN, which has about 7 million subscribers to its regular dial-up service, is racing against No. 1 AOL, which boasts 30 million subscribers, to roll out fast Internet services that can deliver features like video and audio.
Is it just me, or has Microsoft not caught on to the game yet? They don't have it right... they have to send CDs out to people once a month in hopes that they will surrender and buy their service. I mean, it was no accident that AOL wound up with 30 million users, now was it?
