Go up one level in this thread


I picked this virus up off of another newsgroup.  (not this one)  My computer
froze up, then I was disconnected from the internet.  I pressed control alt
delete several times to reboot my computer.  It wouldn't reboot until I did this
several times.  I finally got that dialog box saying "this program has performed
an illegal function and will be shut down. If the problem persists contact the
vendor"  or some such thing.  However in the blue title bar, which borders the
top portion of that dialog box, a message was printed in white letters which
said something to the effect of "You have just caught the big one".  My virus
detector, Guard Dog, didn't detect it either.  I know others who have caught
this virus.  Many virus detectors are not detecting this virus.  This virus is
spreading.  I installed a 56k modem on this old PC.  I can't use it now, the
port com got infected.  I'm back to using my old 28.8k modem.
