  1. WARNING !!

    There is a NEW worm virus spreading the internet.

    It will grab all your email addresses in your contacts and will send a pif file to all of them and when they open the file it will happen to them as well. I had 10 emails this morning trying to do this 2 me.

    The Worm is cunning it grabs a file off your computer infects it, renames it to e.g ( letter.doc 2 letter.doc.pif )and posts itself over the net.

    There is a message on the email which is:

    "Hi! How are you? I send you this file in order to have your advice See you later. Thanks"

    If you recieve this email delete it as soon as possible


    Just thought you might want 2 know.

    You should change your Explorer settings so you can SEE the file extension.

    Open Windows (File) Explorer

    1) View Menu selection
    2) Options
    3) View Tab
    4) Uncheck the: "Hide MS-DOS file &extensions for file types that are registered" checkbox
    5) And select the: "Show all files" Option button

    Thats for Win95.

    WinME is Tools, Folder Options, View etc.

    98 is either like 95 or ME.
