VERY IMPORTANT! FIREFOX AND IE USERS!

['Daniel']

The majority of the time warnings like these are e-mailed or posted by genuine people passing it on to try to warn & help other people!:thumbup: There are just many more hoax warnings than genuine ones!

Contradiction.

 

[Corry]

Not a contradiction. He's saying they are being sent by genuine people who are well meaning, but don't know that the warning is NOT genuine.

 

[PlasticSpanner]

That's what I meant but in a much clearer and English way!

Thanks Corry!:thumbup:

There is a third party fix for this available..... check the internet storm center. (google it)

I installed it on my xp box no problems so far

MS won't have a patch til next wed. (windows update)

I am not worried about my Linux Box though

 

[PlasticSpanner]

Didn't someone manage to write a virus for Linux a couple of years ago?

 

[wolfepakt]

yeah, but viri on linux have limited effet, because you have to know the root password on every machine you try to infect.......

besides if you could target 90+ percent of users (windows) would you targer 5ish (mac) or 1ish(eache of the more popular unix variants) what would you go for?

 

[PlasticSpanner]

Yep! That's the main reason why Windows gets hit with so many security attacks! It's a larger audience!

 

[PlasticSpanner]

Oh and pretty buggy to begin with!
