OK, its not really news but my two cents here on
COMMON PROBLEM FACED BY MANY WINDOWS USERS

When using Vbuster and see the ARCV virus message.This is most likely caused by another antivirus program in your computer. The ARCV covers more than 200 viruses. ARCV is "Association of Really Cruel Viruses". A lot of antivirus programs do not encrypt their viral codes. Such bare viral codes will be detected by V-Buster as a virus.
Please go to http://www.freedos.net to get more information about FREEDOS. Run FREEDOS.EXE to extract and type SYS A: with a formatted diskette in drive A to create a Boot Disk. FREEDOS can read a hard disk with a 32 bit FAT table. Always remember that the Windows Startup disk is NOT a boot disk as it will load some of the Windows Startup files. If there is a stealth virus it will be mised.
You should also go to the CMOS setup in your computer and set the BOOT SEQUENCE to A:C.

A lot of Windows viruses and worms like the MTX will set the attribute of one master file to 22 or other READ ONLY only attributes. Windows will not allow READ ONLY files to be changed or deleted. Viruses and Worms use this feature of Windows to protect themselves. If Vbuster.Exe is run from Windows you will get a message "Error deleting file" or Error Rebuilding File" if the attribute is READ ONLY. Exiting to DOS from Windows will not solve the problem as a resident part of Windows will display the message "Windows has stopped execution of the file to protect your long filenames". If you have a virus in your computer you should set the Boot Sequence of your computer to A:C, boot up a DOS diskette in Drive A and then run Vbuster.Exe to rebuild or delete the infected files. Vbuster.Exe can be used to delete any file regardless of the attribute. . So download it now.

Hello, Everyday I receive lots of emails asking me how to stop attacks by Trojans and Worms that come through emails. Most automatic email scanners are useless as they cannot stop new Trojans and Worms. Setting the scanner to quarantine all EXE and VBS files are also useless as new Trojan and Worms are now disguised as harmless text or graphic files. A lot of new Trojans and Worms received recently uses super encryption techniques. A lot of people will be in serious trouble once the destructive virus writers get the idea.

The first thing is to understand how these Trojans and Worms and are propagated and how they are activated. 1. Trojans and Worms use the ability of an email program under Windows 95 or 98 to automatically send them out to all the email addresses in the email program. 2. Trojans and Worms also use the ability of the email program under Windows 95 or 98 to execute the program regardless of the extension. For example the MTX worm will be disguised as a txt, gif, jpg, etc. file but has the 4D5A EXE header. Windows 95 or 98 will execute the file as an EXE file although the file has a text or graphic header. The MTX worm will after execution become a file virus and will infect all EXE files. It will also create a file called MTX_ which has a file attribute of 22, that is a hidden and read only file. Windows 95 or 98 will not allow a file with an attribute of 22 to be modified or deleted, thereby protecting the virus. 3. Trojans and Worms will also use the ability of the email program under Windows 95 or 98 to automatically execute a Microsoft Virtual Basic script in a file once the file is opened. 4. So far there are only 2 Worms in the Wild that can be activated directly from opening an email. They are the Kak and Bubbleboy. All the others will come as as attachment. The Kak and Bubbleboy uses the email program's ability to execute a Microsoft Virtual Basic script once the email is opened. 4. I receive many hundreds of such Trojans and Worms every month, some sent to me to trap me. Many uses super encryption techniques but my computer is NEVER infected. 5. The solution is very simple and that is to use an email and internet program that cannot understand Microsoft Virtual Basic or automatically excute a file with the 4D5A header of an EXE file. 6. I use Eudora 2.2 for my emails and Netscape 4.02 for viewing attachments. Sticks and stones will harm me but Trojan, Worms or viruses cannot do anything to me or my computer.
