>.Would somebody please comment on the ramifications of the following release put out by NETA today (or yesterday for those reading 3/24)?<< This virus was from taiwan i think and was posted to a lot of news groups in various forms. Some of them depending on your bios type can erase it. The others will just format your hard disk. So if you practiced safe computing dont worry about it, but if you were risky.. well... To be very safe just change the date of the machine a few days, It only happens on the 26th right?

MSB, this news release contains a "cure", which says to click on nai.com for said cure. I did this, and can't make heads or tails out of the information provided on this page. Also, on their web pages they don't address what to do if you have a competitors' program (I have Norton anti virus built into my IBM). Why don't they try to sell you on changing to their Dr. Solomon product, with updates available to download from their site? Dc
