The Virus that was attacking our web site...

Ron Thomas,


We traced the virus that was attacking the website to the clubhouse computer. Jim Dodds came down and removed it and took it home to find the problem.


Here is his email report of what he found and has done:
9 Virii
3 Worms
1 Trojan
382 Malware/Spyware

Reformatted to Win 98.2
7.5 Hours

Will
be back at clubhouse after a good defrag....lol (means laughing out loud)

Added Norton AV
BlackIce Firewall
Misc. Programs

Needless to say.... most of this junk came from downloading stuff without even thinking about it. Our thanks to Jim for the upgrade and the extra programs and effort. Hopefully those that use the computer will pay heed to the Norton Anti-virus prompts not to download suspected files.
