HA! I got SoBig about 9 times today....of course it does nothing on my real OS (OS X).
It's easy to protect yourself against virii.... stop using M$ products
......
e) Causing Nuclear power plants to shut down
f) Slowing down the web in general
......
ok I just read the last link on the potential dangers of even say text files
quote:
If the file extension is certain CLSID e.g.:
testhta.txt.{3050F4D8-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}
then Windows explorer and IE do not show the CLSID and only the .txt extension,
while the above file is in fact .hta file
OK for me the real problem is with fucking made up, crap, weak standards that M$ seems to invent for itself, i.e.... .HTA (HTML Application). If they'd follow the rules they'd have less fucking problems.
.HTA CrapM$ does not deserve to be a tech company.
