Story: Swen prevention and cure

Posted by: Anonymous (Tuesday 28 October 2003, 4:22 AM)

Hi, I have Swen too.
First of all I recomend to open another mail
account in www.operamail.com to avoid
junk mail, spam, virus, trojans, etc. I have
not received spam since about two weeks.
I download a "patch" for blaster in the
official website of Microsoft, I supposed that
it is another "patch" for blaster. Also I recomend to download the opera browser
from www.opera.com
I feel embarassed, but not only because
I "install" a virus, but because I use Windows
in my computer, an AMD based that I like
a lot (the hardware), knowing that linux-based
open source OS's are so superior in all the
aspects. I don't think that MAC OS X have so
many virus, trojans, and worms (if they have
important ones).
My last recomendation is to download Stinger of Symantec from: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/ venc/data/w32.swen.a@mm.html, run it
download, install and execute zone alert
(download.com), reboot the computer, run
again Stinger and see the "could not be repaired" message and delete it manually.
This virus kind of regenerates, Sometimes
Stinger is infected?!
If you are not happy with Windows, find a
new "better" version, or get MAC OS X or any
other linux-based OS.
