Listen to this guys. This is certainly a first, and I knew it would eventually happen. Lately I have been getting viruses alerts JUST from LOOKING at webpages ALONE. Norton would stop them of course. This was something new, so be on the alert for that. They have so far all been this virus listed below, but were all .html documents placed in the temp internet files folder, or attempted I should say, then quarantined. Now if that's not bad enough, I just got a GIF image that was a virus! A GIF. Most thought this was impossible, but obviously it is not. So, what this means is, now sending simple images of jokes, screen shots, scans, etc, that many of us do, can now be infected with viruses. The particular virus that was sent to quarantine was the JS.exception.exploit It was sent to my temporary internet files folder just from looking at a webpage. It has the .gif extension and the standard GIF icon. Obviously it goes without saying that ANYTIME one is connected to the net, an AV program MUST be running at all times, and don't forget to check for updates DAILY. Not weekly, but DAILY. I do not recommend AVG AntiVirus software since I found out they only update their virus definitions MONTHLY, which is pathetic. There are dozens of new viruses and worms each week!! So, if any of you use it, you are taking a BIG risk. -Clint God Bless Us All Tech-Assist Administration http://tech-assist.org techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (PLEASE include previous correspondence if replying to this email!!)
