The media is being saturated with news reports on the latest "trojan" that spreads like crazy via some Windows-based mail software. Rather than repeating what has been said a thousand times elsewhere, I'll just comment on the fact that even Amigan professionals don't seem to be too secure (respectively, using the wrong software or not enough common sense)... I received a few copies of the message today. :)

| ILOVEYOU virus... : Comment 8 of 23 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by bbuilder on 04-May-2000 22:00 GMT | It is not possible to avoid viruses on a Windows PC.
Windows is built up to support viruses. It is even updated frequently to support even more viruses.
Yeah sure. They don't do it in purpose. They just develop "features", but they do not think about consequencies.
Outlook automaticly sets and resets its setting so thet it becomes very vulnerable to viruses. I have been forced to manually disable "auto preview", so that viruses do not start immediately when they arrive at my mailbox.
It does not help at all that I have to re-intall the OS and all of the SW every year...
The media just ignores the fact that Unix, Linux, Amiga and other systems are immune to this kind of viruses!!!!!!!
Windows is the only one, which support these viruses. |
