Compsci Bug Trouble, Post BUGS here

[shorthair]

Ive noticed that compsci is nt updating properly , the forum page says there is a new post , but when you look in IE turing submissions , it dosent show anythign as updated , but if you press refresh then it updates , also whe nreading a thread i coulnt see my message unti li refreshed it about 10 times

odd, probly just some lag. but the "last measge" thing on the fourm page show the last messages for quite a bit and is not meet to go away as soon as you view one of thous posts.

Tried clearing the cache , helped a bit but usually the only way i make it into the forum fast , is if i take a back door , like if i click on the forum button it can take about 3-4 minutes to load , but if i go through the FP contest link , its instant , weird

well the compsci.ca server is being slowed down with tones of e-mails from that dam virus. same thing with most of the web.

[shorthair]

I didnt even take that into account , thats gotta be a let down , it hasent got to me yet , what form does it come in , ? i know its email supposedly , but does it have a unique label for the subject

[Dan]

well from what i know it ushely says somting like this:

it trys random e-mails as well as thous it finds in poleops address books. it also spreades by kazaa and other p2p.

it is a trogen that has a keyloger in it and it will do a DOS actack on some web site on feb 1st.

[shorthair]

i had one of those and opened the email , then i deleted it , does that mean i get the trojan or am i safe

[Dan]

well depends if it was the viurs that sent it or if it realy was a mail server. i whould dl a good anti-virus like AVG and get the latest update. this viurs is not that damging to your comp but it could get u in some troble with the key logger thing and the DOS actack stuff.

u should allways have a fire wall and anti-virus progame ruing and a hrad ware firewall if u can get one. also some anti-spy ware software whould be a good idea too (spybot is good for this). also u need to keep them up to date and runing.

P.S. if u are on windows using the update thing whould not hurt eather.
