[history]
There is a nasty virus going around called W32/Expiro.A which is searching for banking info on your computer. People who have turned off their anti-virus have had as many as 1,300 viruses on their computer in under one day. McAffee and Sofus(sp) both have patches - I'm on my way for a fix.

I assume this virus affects only windows users?
To: q_an_a
Any idea which versions of the Windows OS are affected?

A search using the keywords, win32A and expiroa, yielded nothing.

Hey, DLR, how’d you get that bug (the one I tried to squash with a tissue) on my screen?
Thanks, I needed a chuckle!

Is zonealarm in learning mode enough? (a question to the general 'all' out there).
