Microsoft got an email on august 11th and it contained "Blaster Worm" a virus that then spread from microsoft into most windows programs through the internet. It doesnt come by mail. I got it and I dont know how, It kicks you off the internet and shuts your system down whenever your on the internet. I got it fixed. Just dont go on any wierd sites ppl because it is attached to websites.

what the heck I can't even login to play the site!

What does that have to do with my VIRUS ALERT ? :plain:








:angryfire: :angry: :angryfire:

nice to know you visit weird sites TJ.. :dontgetit:

Well, another stupid virus...Seriously, what kind of messed up, sad, lonely, idiotic person makes these things?

Stupid dxzero

IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS XP OR WINDOWS 2000 it goes to most of you just for having the program.

if u dont have those windows then u get it from homepages.

Yes, I've been taking a computer applications class that must be a new form of Worm Virus....

o ######## i think i go it 2
wen i go on the internet it comes up with "there was a problem in so-and-so and i click ok and my comp freezed and wen i touch keys and move the mouse my comp(the tower not the speakers?!?!)makes a clicking noize!!!!!
thats prolly wat made me have 2 ge outta irc
tj knows wat im talkin abouT!!

yes the lovsan worm is the same as blaster worm I believe ( I read that somewhere I think) :shocked:

yeah my neighbour got the virus so i had to make fun of her, and if i do get i'll just format this junkie comp :D

the only way microsoft could have infected you without even asking you if ya wanted to download the virus, was by passing thru WINDOWS UPDATE !

i have WINDOWS XP right now, i never got any virus, and i am BROWSING A LOT TJ5 !

for thsoe who don't know it.
a virus is a program that must be EXECUTED.
BROWSING does not execute programs.
so you can't get a virus just by being on a website.
HTML does not contain EXECUTABLE COMMANDS
CGI does, but even tho it is executing, it is executing ont he LOCASL machine that is sending you the information. which mean that even if you execute a CGI program, its the server your own which will get the virus, not you !

basically, in any situation...
you gotta DOWNLOAD the VIRUS, then EXECUTING it in order to get the virus.
WORMS aren't exceptionnal to that law.

that's why EMAILS with virus that you get, if deleted right away, without executing the program to open the file. makes your computer not infected.

its like this.
i put a virus in a VIAL. i send it to you in AMERICA, and i'm in JAPAN.
you receive the VIAL but doesn't open it.
why would get infected if you never openned and never got in contact with the virus ?

same law for computer, you got to DOWNLOAD and EXECUTE the virus for him to spread !
so basically, if you got infected that's because you received a file and then you openned it !

and for those who say we download everyweb pages that's why we have what we cALL CACHE in BROWESERs. then let me only tell you that those fiels are only INFO files. they aren'T the program itself, but the necessary to know what exactly is the web page you're looking at !

so no, you can't catch a virus just by browsing a web page. a window will popup to you before that and ask you if you want that file which is necessary for you to see the page. if you accept that file, then you got a possibility to get a virus, otherwise. you're free of it and will never get it !

i had it but my moms boss(this is his computer) patched it...i think i got it through the buisness she works for cause some of her co workers had it aswell and broke one ladys harddrive....

well its a good thing i dont really used email. i only open it when it said my friends email. but then when i open since its in msn it wil lteel if its a virus or not :D

Can you explain me this quote for me?

Found it here

Can you explain me this quote for me?[/quote]
sure... it basically says that if you do not EXECUTE (run) the prgram, you do not and will not get infected.

its like openning the cage of a big bad monster. if you receive the monster and do not open the cage, no harm will be done. same goes for viruses. don't open things you don't know and nothing will happen to you !

ok, there is a difference between CATCHING a virus and FINDING a VIRUS !
that girl FOUND a VIRUS !
doesn't mean she was infected !
ok, the virus was in a file on the web site. the web site like all others is maintained in cache, while in chache, nothing can get executed unless yuou go open it yourself by double clicking the file.

but, since th efile is on the computer, still your comp is not infected, the ANTI-VIRUS software PREDICT the virus INFECTION if you open that file, so it alerts you that you got a virus ! yeah, you got a virus, but you aren't infected by it yet ! as long as you don't open it by double clicking it !

understand now ?
