*edit* [old news] WARNING (not) NEW VIRUS Anti-virus firms are warning about a Windows worm called Sober that is starting to spread widely online. The virus emerged at the weekend and is multiplying because so many versions of Windows are vulnerable.
Many people are thought to be falling victim to it because one version poses as an update from anti-virus firms.
It also tries to hide by using many different subject lines in both German and English and by changing the name of the payload holding the virus.

Have to say this wouldnt work on me - I like my nudity in a first person setting but I am sure there are folks who will fall for it :groucho:
Antivirus and firewalls At the moment Im using the AVG free virus check and my router has a firewall.
But now Im ready to start my E.bay business and Im looking for some serious virus software and firewall software as I will be using my new credit card (Yeah I manged to get paypal, I hope)
After some google work Im looking at the Panda virus check and the zone alarm firewall.
I was just wondering what you use and if you have any advice ?

virus warning nothing to worry about at our end at the mo, but a couple of links to virus' have been posted on SJ :yakk:
so beware
if you're not sure about a user who has posted a link, you can check it is what it says it is before you click on it
right click on the link, then select properties. this willshow you what that actual link is (what you see onscreen initially may not be what it appears)
virus links on SJ Angel's reported people posting links to viruses on SJ. I think it would be helpful if someone warns our members to be careful and we keep an eye out for them here as well...
Viruses and trojans right. i caught a trojan horse virus last week, which shat me up, but i locked it away in the vault before the whole virus loaded, i think. it put itself in the java program but i got it out and locked it down. now i have another normal virus in the java program file, but my virus scanner (avg free edition) wont delete, heal, or lock away any of the files. its my mums computer and its been running peer to peer software namely emule, and i cant workout if she has a firewall. ive always got my programmer mate to secure my computer, but my mum knows less about computers that i do about the moleculare makeup of jupiter. nothing.
im not even sure if i should be on the net with an infected computer, this is the first time anythings happened that i couldnt deal. please help.
