I was recently sent a cocktail of Win95/MTX viruses either contained in a photo or attached to a photo by somebody who I knew and trusted but who had themselves received the virus without knowing. I have no way of checking how it was actually sent since I deleted every attachment once I realised how the virus was transmitted. Even after running an anti virus programme 'Command.com' (thanks again PPRuNe Dispatcher) it has taken me quite some time to restore the workings of my computer after replacing many files which the MTX worm had infected and caused the anti virus to delete. |I had previously thought that viruses were something only for paranoid people to worry about. Not so now!
I have to comment that the Command.com anti-virus software seems to run invisibly on my computer so I shall continue to subscribe to it.
