Virus alert

[faithellen]

Hey, y'all -- I got hit with the Erkez virus (wears its pants really high and would be better served by wearing contacts), and I'm scanning my system now. SO FAR, it's found sixty-three infected files, which it's happily quarantining. However, pain in the ass.

Update your definitions. Scan your computers. Protect yourselves.

Erkez info from Symantec (including removal information)

Whee.

It's probably better than the Mahir virus.

"I KEES YOU!"

I just feel a need to point out...

While I have always trusted Symantec's advice in the past, following their removal instructions for the flashtrack adware was what put my laptop into a coma last week. :( (It remains comatose...)
