Thats the same thing that happened to me, mine was never the same after I accidently downloaded and unzipped a backdoor trojan and a couple of downloaders. Alcohol and computers don't mix well...LOL. I just got a new hard drive and motherboard and am going to be a bit more careful!!

Quote:
The JS-Yamanner worm spreads when a Windows user accesses Yahoo! Mail to open an email sent by the worm. The attack works because of a vulnerability in Yahoo! Mail that enables scripts embedded within HTML emails to be run within a user’s browser instead of being blocked.



Wouldn't disabling HTML in emails protect you from this worm, and a lot others?

I feel the moron that started mail porograms to be compatiable with HTML should be strug up by his/her toes.

I recall a while back something like this was going around. I had 4 email accounts, and I would get emails from myself that I didn't send.... and from my kids.... and they got them from me. I quickly emailed everyone not to open anything from me unless it had a certain heading. I think- maybe- that's where I ended up getting that worm I did........ right before I had to go buy a new hard drive.   :madgo:

Error type : Windows stop error (A message appears on a blue screen with error code information)
Solution available? : No (see Next steps)

What does this error mean? : Windows has encountered an error from which it cannot recover and needs to restart

Computer symptoms : A message appears on a blue screen with error code information (for example: e.g. 0x0000001E, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)
Additional steps for you to take : Important: Please continue to send error reports so analysts at Microsoft can study and try to correct the problem as quickly as possible

Information about this error

You received this message because a device driver installed on your computer caused the Windows operating system to stop unexpectedly. This type of error is referred to as a "stop error." A stop error requires you to restart your computer.



Here's what's happening.  Last night while I was in the room, I started noticing while refreshing I was getting abit of a brighter flashing, and strange stuff (as well as very slow response seemed to happen). I haven't opened any strange Emails..  For some strange reason there appears to be a BIOS problem now ?  or device driver problem on my system ?   WHY ?  Only thing I did, was the same thing I've done in the  past, which is occassionally hook my MP3 player up to my main system which forms an F drive, however that's temporary and hasn't in the past caused GP faults, and the blue screen of death.  Either that is the problem, or some strange virus that my antivirus software isn't detecting has affected my system and caused windows to crash twice in the last 24 hours.

If I for some reason did something wrong,  I apologise for sounding like an alarmist. The reason I am sharing this however, is that I've received a few PM's regarding people getting weird Active X messages, and a few days ago, I too received something (I didn't pay much attention to) not in Email however, that suggested I check Active X on my system, or DL something pertaining to Active X to view perhaps a...


Oh man,,,I just got an Idea...

When we opened the George Bush U-2 thing,  did we get a virus ?????

HAS ANYONE run virus software on the George Bush edited U-2 clip ?

The bad news is, they make tens of thousands of dollars every month with the viruii.

They steal your I.D., empty your bank, open charge cards in your name, and much more..

Check around..  :wave:
