NEIL//ALERT///: Web Worm Attacks Windows, Spreads Fast, Experts Say

[Guest guest]

You got that right. Wish I had gone with them to begin with. Stuck at the moment. I have not updated since the 98 version of Windows, so somewhat safe.

 

Plus have great firewalls, and still have old fashion slow dial up, which discourages hackers as too slow and the fact it does go "dark" whereas with Roadrunner and broadband, they are "on" all the time.

I started with an Apple ][c and moved up to Macs around 1986. I have a DSL

connection -- always on -- and don't worry about it. There hasn't been a virus

yet written to attack Mac OS X. I get several PC viruses a day and, sometimes,

open them up with a text editor to read the code. No worries.

 

The past few days at work have been interesting, watching the PC techs fighting

this latest worm. I just grin.
