Business_Man Posted September 3, 2003 There is a defect in Windows NT, 2000, XP, and 2003 computers. Think of it as a broken window on your computer. Anyone can crawl into your computer from the network without you knowing it and without your helping them by reading email or visiting a web site. They are free to do whatever they want...read your email, delete your files, copy your passwords, steal your identity. People have written programs, called worms, that travel the Internet hopping from one computer to another through the same broken windows. These are troublesome but it is important to remember the worm is only doing what anyone else can do...walk right in and take over. Microsoft has released a patch to fix the broken Window. Fixing that broken window is what this web is all about. But that isn't the end of the story. Some of you have worms that have already crawled in through the broken window. They need to be removed as they are disrupting the network. In addition, there are several other broken windows in Windows, though not as big or obvious as this one, that may be used in the future by bad guys and their programs. Here are the website for update and virus removal: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/tools.list.html Remember to know which virus is attacking you before you try to solve it!.
