Never Download!!
It's hardly one month since I got an internet connection at home and I am already plagued with viruses. Today morning I opened a mail attachment from Yahoo as a zip file only to find that it was a virus -- W32.Beagle. Now don't ask me what I tried to download, but thanks to Sriram (who came to my home with "pirated" anti-virus protection CDs) some viruses have been detected and killed.
We were wondering (me & sriram) how these anti-virus companies were able to come out with latest virus protection as soon as a virus breaks... rather, they will be the ones issuing press releases stating that such a "virus is found in the wild"... Is it the virus protection companies themselves creating the virus and spreading it so as to get some revenue??? God only knows!!
PS: Any virus writers reading this? COME GET ME!! :-)
