    Doom and its variations are out for many days now. SCO group was one of the first victims. Here is a topic i had posted few days back

    The new variant targets Microsoft

    yes ... doom will start it&#39;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&#39;t tell who they&#39;re coming from because the return address is fake. Luckily Norton keeps catching it, but I&#39;ve recieved it seven times in the last three days&#33;

    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

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