Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Don't let the Worm Bear Virus eat up your Computer. I never opened any attachments so I haven't a clue as to how I contracted this new Virus, but Strange things began to happen to my computer! I received a notice from Norton Utilities about this deadly virus and then discovered that my Antivirus program was malfunctioning!!!! I went to the Norton site, and luckily, you can have them scan for a virus, and then download a little program to eradicate the virus from your computer, all drives! It turned out that I had 22 files infected with this new deadly virus! But Because I have !000 at the top of my address book [good idea to do that], none was sent out to my friends and family, however, it did eat away at my computer causing it to do horrible things like disable my Norton Antivirus for example so it would not download new updates! If you find your computer doing very strange things, you probably HAVE the wormbear and do not know it....... the virus will eventually completely disable your computer as it worms itsway into all your applications! It even disabled Adobe Reader! This is the url for Norton site to scan your computer for the virus and then download the fix. http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie & venid=sym hope this helps Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
