My hotmail has been apparently unaffected, FWIW.
"Sasser"?

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.

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.

I got one supposedly from Eric Flint. And I KNOW he doesn't have my email address.

EF is a baen auther. Very good one.

I'm getting the "did you get that memo?" act from PbW again.

Fortunately, two of the Proportions savegames won't fit in the inbox, so I'll just leave one in there for a day or two to take up space.

Anyone else have this issue?
