Last night a 9 o'clock my brother received an e-mail from microsoft about the "destructable" virus that has ever been created it mail's it self to you destroys your Hard drive, and erase's all data and there is no vaccine out yet. YES it is even worse then the previos virus's and has already caused chaos in new york. Do not open e-mail's saying a flower for you or a gift from microsoft......proved dangerous and will cause panic straight away.

Yeah, they're great, especialy if you have a leased-line connection, as you can download whole games!

If you do reformat your HD and you have a CD-RW, use HD Back up or just cut and paste all of your files onto a couple of CR-RW's, that's what I do.

Re-formatting your HDD isn't really a viable option as you will lose ALL your files. You could try re-installing Windows, that would work. Grab yerself a Windows CD, slam it in the CD-ROM and follow instructions.

You'll want to get some sort of anti-virus software even if you aren't having any problems, else it might be too late when you notice things happening..

Try Re-Formatting the hard drive.......but you will loose all data and will have to join up to some stuff again.........Which you are joined to on the internet like fog because it store's you're details in a cookie........Like i had to............RE-Formatting will get rid of the virus and will re-install windows and the font's neccesary.........You will still be able to access you're msn/yahoo account's.......but will have to re-install you're isp/server options.........So if you choose to do this ring up you're isp/server before you do this to cancel you're account and ask them not to charge you double if you use an unlimited off-peak line.......if you pay for the service of Penny a minute unlimited off-peak calls i should not worry unless you are totally unsure.......

Hope this help's SHORTY BLITZ.

Because what you type into the browser are still ASCII characters they are still formatted by HTML and look fine to us. Do what I said and all will be fine.

I never typed it I copied it off the site. What do you mean it looks fine. The ts are all muffed up. Also on my screen it looks like it has been written on Notepad. It may be coz I copied it that the ts worked for your computer they are just big fat blocks on mine.
