[SEL] Latest virus release from China

[Lew Best]

I know lotsa folks don't like Microsoft but I for one much prefer it.  I
switched temporarily to firefox as default browser (already had it installed
but don't like it) so please let us (or me on the back channel if you
prefer) when they get IE fixed.

Hi all
Latest virus release from China.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/microsoft/3793365
/Internet-Explorer-security-alert-Microsoft-says-all-users-at-risk.html

Well it has hit Australia, it got me and straight past Norton Anti-virus
2009.
27 hours later I am 98% back online with most software installed.
When it is a work machine you don't realize, until you have to re-format,
how many settings you need to re-install.

Microsoft says stay off the web until they get the patch out on their update
site.

I was looking through a US university site doing some research when I got
hit, the screen wobbled and the computer re-booted, my words were @#%*.

Peter, Oz
