28 Jan 99

I GOT SWAMPED again with email concerning MSNBC reporter Bob Sullivan's story about "Happy99.EXE." Let me remind everyone: 2.8 trillion other filenames might also contain a virus or Trojan horse. We may wind up reading an MSNBC story about each one. I can't remember 2.8 trillion filenames, so I boiled it down to just two sentences:

Beware any file sent by someone you don't know. Beware any file sent by someone you DO know.

Let me also remind everyone: computer security alerts never die ... they just get a new life-cycle.

'Nuff said?
