Fake virus alerts

2001-09-19 18:02:05+02 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

First off, if you run Microsoft software, you are promulgating denial of service attacks on the net, this time via someething called the "Nimda" virus. But even worse than that, if you're forwarding virus alerts for non-existent viruses you're doing the same thing without running Microsoft software. Stop it, bozos!

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
