[tiruvengadam] BORING AND WASTE BUT PLEASE READ -- about virus

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Anandavalli Dasan :

 

Thanks very much for your alert.

I have installed an antivirus shield

and encourage all the members to use one.

Of late , there has been a rash of viruses

and worms . Some of them can not be repaired by

the shields. The safe bet is to Quarantine them

so that they do not corrupt the system .

 

As you indicated , many users are not aware of

the entry of viruses/Worms and that leads to

surreptitious attacks .

 

The mind set of the Virus/worm creator is

difficult to fathom ! vicious and juvenile at the same

time !

 

Thanks again ,

V.Sadagopan
