    Re: [RC] virus - Bette Lamore


    Hi Louise
    I ran a search and found a happy winking face named wink.bmp and also a wink.class file in my settings--- but when I ran a Norton scan on it-- it said it wasn't a virus and I had just updated defs. Where did you get the name "wink" as being a virus?

    I strongly suggest you ALL invest in the $20 or so and put a good virus
    protection on your computer.  I am receiving the KLEZ virus from e-mails,
    and I think some of them are coming from ridecamp.  It will worm its way
    into your e-mails and send itself, then it will start corrupting your files,
    particularly office 2000.
    Things to check:
    1.  run microtrend housecall online scan test
    2.  run "FIND" in the start program for WINK* or Klez.h
    This is a very bad virus...you may have had it for months and not know it.
    After trying to get rid of it for two weeks, I had to take my computer
    in...over 70 files were infected..took them forever to fix.
    *WINK* (WINKOC or something starting with WINK) runs in your windows and
    only the most skilled can get it out.

    The people you may know who you get this from (somewhere down the line) and
    the subject heading is such that you would be likely to open it.

    Now I am off to do an emperical test with Freedom and Equi-Spot on the
    herd......
