Re: CIH Virus

G'day everyone:

Just wanted to post a message to let people know that I already have 8 casualties so far. 6 from one office, and 2 individuals. Toasted BIOS chips and overwritten hard drives.

I personally don't understand how they could have let it happen, since as Cheeky Kid said, it's not all that difficult to get an anti-virus program installed (especially when it's free).

Not only that, but if no data backups were done, their data is toast too. I'll agree again, always back your data up.

Have a fine day,

Rich
