Re: Virus Alert

It crashed ALL of the computers @ ABC in NY and other companies as well...

Is 2000 different from Millenium???

I hear it is only effecting Windows 2000.

Re: Virus Alert

Sharkey..

Being reported in detail on CNN as we speak..... No mention of Millenium (which was a disaster for MS)..

My suggestion upgrade to XP....

CNN just stated there is a patch to fix (not cure) the worm..

On the MS up date site..
