It looks like you've got that Sasser virus that's doing the rounds, Marsha! There's a virus removal tool on the Symantec website if you haven't got it fixed yet: (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sasser.d.html)

It is weird to be over here on the Voy board, but at least we're not completely cut off! Keep checking for updates - when we get them, you'll get them!!!

Author: Rachel [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 07:55:35 05/05/04 Wed Hey MARSHA! My husband went to the microsoft site and downloaded a security patch for Windows XP. I'm not sure which version of windows or IE you are using, but you might want to check for security updates. We've been lucky not to get a virus, yet. Cross my fingers and knock on wood.

The updates page at Microsoft actually checks which version of Windows you are running and offers only those patches which are appropriate. I did mine as part of routine housekeeping at the weekend.
