email virii, sosial trust??
we know that virii spreads first, then we will get the cure from anti virii much later...
is there an easy way that we apply to prevent from being bitten, esp from email virii? remember the 'i love u' virii and its family?? the email came from someone whom u trust, nothing suspicious in the contents and attachment, so u happily open the attachment and not knowing there is a virii and bam!! thats all it took.
if the email had come from someone whom u dont know, then its fine, just delete it, but it wasnt. this make things difficult.
hmmm... does it mean that u need to call that fren and ask if the email was true?

virii infection prevention... I HOPE ;]
as a rule, when i recieve any kind of file d/l... i use a hexeditor to open it....
reason being... if it is a program designed for a certain purpose.... its easy to
find something dealing w/ that purpose.... if you cant find nothing that reflects
what you are supposed to be d/l'ing.... then it is prolly some new worm/virii etc..
of course i keep my anti virus up to date daily, and have my computer set to
automatically d/l critical updates daily.... but ya still never know.. what is
around the corner. so common sense a good anti virus, up to date patches..
and the good ol hex editor..... makes for a good tandum ;)
