As you may know, there's a new virus called msblast(MicroSoft blast) that's invading the net. unlike most viruses that come in through e-mail, this one comes in through your regular internet phone line. If you don't have a firewall like I do then there's no way you can stop it coming in. once it comes in, your computer will randomly restart every few minutes. But don't fret, several companies around the world including Microsoft themselves have created a fix program that destroys the virus and makes your comp immune against further attacks. even if you do have a firewall like I do I suggest you DL it for safety. It could save your comp and teach those idiotic hackers not to mess with the public.(to use it just activate it and it'll do the rest. If there are any instructions follow them) securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/FixBlast.exe P.S. This virus reminds me of Digimon for some reason.

alright! thanks to Haytham89, the virus won't be coming to me anymore. the Substitute e-mail fourm is off the fourm now. since the virus will go for your computer and hackers will try to get in your stuff on your computer. I've got the firewall loaded. It should keep me working on the fourms, the group, and my homepage.

Good. I can't be affected because I don't have dial-up.

I think it affects all net connections. I just said phone line since it was the simplest thing to say.( I have ADSL and I still have a firewall activated and the fix program on my PC)

I'm really not sure. But what version of windows do you have? This virus only affects Windows 2000, Windows XP, and windows NT. If you have any one of thse I highly recommend dling the fix.
