I Have A Worm!

[Hand of Evil]

Seems I picked up a worm yesterday, mean and nasty little thing in that it changed my DNS address to 216.127.92.38 and kept giving me 'page could not be displayed errors'

Be warned!

I'll take a computer worm over a tape worm anyday.

(Can I have a tape worm as a Familiar?)

I use a firewall (Zone Alarm) and a antivirus (Norton).

I think I am almost totally protected, as I also have my windows up to date...

by the way, zone alarm i light, free and even you will not get a connection to the internet i you say you shouldn't!

Zone Alarm is by far the best freeware firewall out there, and among the best of all firewalls period.

LightPhoenix said what I was going to say to the letter so I am simply quoting him/her to say "I second that"

You really should see a doctor about that, take some tablets for it

It was at work, the DMZ helped and we use Nortons, I was only one of three to have it. My home PC has ZoneAlarm and McAfee and have never had an issue.

Dude that's not a worm. Now put it away before you go blind.
