This is for anyone who uses Outlook
Express-
My virus scanner picked up a virus today, called
JS/KAK.WORM. It spreads through e-mail, through a security hole in Outlook
Express. If you use the preview pane, it drops a file in your Windows
directory. When you reboot your computer, the virus executes. The
worst it does is shut down Windows on you at 5PM on the 1st of the month, and it
propogates (spreads) via Outlook Express (e-mail). I'm providing a couple
of links for more information on this virus, and Scott's webpage (http://nightstorm.isyourgod.com) has
the Protector Plus download, which is the virus scanner that caught it on my
computer. The thing is, I most likely got this virus from someone on this
list, since none of the other e-mails I received today was from anyone on
Outlook Express. So hopefully, everyone will scan their computers for it,
and the first website listed has a fix for it, with instructions on how to get
rid of it.
