Even worse, it overwrites files, which means they're unrecoverable.

Any documents created by Microsoft Office as well as .rar and .zip archives should be backed up and stored on separate, removable storage, such as a CD or DVD. Files and documents of this type will be corrupted beyond repair on infected machines.

Yea...after I finished scrubbing that system last week...had a nice long talk with the owner about email attachments. Suggested the 'www' email principle...gotta know 'who' sent it...'what' they're sending...and 'when' they're sending it. And even then, NEVER open exe, scr or pif files.

From what I've read, if your virus protection is up to date...it 'should' prevent infection from this particularly nasty worm.

Amazing the number of emails I'm getting from people at Geocities. That must be the home of the script kiddies trying to spread this fucking worm. They are increasing hourly the lil bastages
