Okey dokey then. I'm sick. And, it sucks. And, because I'm sick. I'm not allowed on this computer. It's really retarded, since I feel a lot better than what I did earlier. So, who knows when I can come back on. I may be able to get back on tonight. Hopefully. I wanted to talk to some of you. We keep getting these viruses in our e-mail. That new virus. Dude, we got like 12 today. Holy shite. Amelia (frogi on greatestjournal) has a virus too. But, of course when I told her the other day that she could get it, she didn't listen. And, she's compuiter stupid along with the rest of her family (no offense) she probably has no clue. And when she says she does, she doesn't. It's not like I can walk her through it to get rid of it either. I'm going to have to call her. This could take a while. Okay, so, I called her. She has no clue what I'm talking about. Oi. This virus is bad.


Dear Adelphia Power Link Customer,

Adelphia would like to make our customers aware of a new virus, the W32/Mydoom@MM. This new virus is a mass-mailing type of virus that arrives as an e-mail attachment. If the attachment is launched, it may allow access to your computer from a remote individual.

To minimize exposure to this and other email viruses we recommend using extreme caution or never opening email attachments.

As a reminder, to limit exposure and confusion, Adelphia will never send it's customers emails with attachments.

If your computer becomes infected, the worm creates a "backdoor" for attackers to remotely access your computer, files and network resources. In addition, the "backdoor" has the ability to download and execute arbitrary files onto your computer.

Further information on this virus/worm can be found on the following links:

Adelphia's E-Safety site provides information on firewalls, antivirus protection, Trojan scanners, Operating System updates as well as pop-up blockers, email information, and parental controls.
