"Sasser"?
Not sure what that is.
But it's only NGC5 that's doing it right now, so it might have something to do with the game as well.
Unless we coudl follow every one all the way through, or unless I posted all the header information and someone interpreted it, we're going to have a bit of a time pinning any of that down. |

Re: ****PBW Status****
I don't know if this matters or not, but I have received two virus emails today claiming to be from admin@pbw which I know is not true.
In other words I know that pbw did not send them. I really hope that one day that the person or persons responible for these viruses and other nasty pest come into some harm. Like loosing the ability to use their fingers or something.

Not sure what that is.
Sasser is the Lastest Virus to be doing the rounds. Much like the MSBLast Virus, it sends packets to random IP addresses to effect other MS computers. It is not an Email Virus. |

Re: ****PBW Status****
Affects only WIN2k and WIN XP computers. Uses a bug (or deliberatly build-in feature of M$ to spy on you?) in the system, you don't need to open an email or use a browser.
