Doom and its variations are out for many days now. SCO group was one of the first victims. Here (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=96431) is a topic i had posted few days back

The new variant targets Microsoft :lol:

yes ... doom will start it's activity on february, 1st. and will stop on 12.02.

latest virus_definitions seems to be enough - but if you want to check your maschine, you can use for example "stinger.exe" which is from "network associates technology inc." mcafee_stinger.

Someone keeps sending me infected emails, but I can't tell who they're coming from because the return address is fake. Luckily Norton keeps catching it, but I've recieved it seven times in the last three days!

Even though I hate M&#036;, they don&#39;t deserve this.

SCO does though...

To tell you the truth I wouldnt mind if both of them took a hike.

Bill can leave xp with me though :smilie4:

As for SCO...................a couple of poundings up side the head with a 50 pound unix manual should do the trick. :lol: Knock some sense into their non-opensource minds :blink:
