Title : *The Assimilation of Disk Data*

Date : 01/01/05

This is David Lawrence with a Panda Software Virus Alert. Panda Labs TruPrevent Technology has discovered JS/Jabbit.A and W32/Mugly.A. Now Jabbit.A is a JavaScript virus that infects HTML files and creates copies of itself in the Favorites folder. Makes all the links in the Favorites folder point to the virus which means it executes every time you click on the Favorite. It uses the prepending method and does not spread by its own means, but it infects via E-mail messages with attached files, Internet downloads, FTP, IRC, Peer-to-Peer like KaZaA etc. Mugly.A is a worm that drops and executes another worm Gaobot.BXG.worm. Mugly.A spreads via E-mail and a message containing attachments called ATTACHED.ZIP. And it also announces it for the GIF file on your screen. Now make sure your machine is safe from infection.

Happy new year everybody. Oh its all good to take the time off really, how was your holidays, where they fabulous where they and not so maybe. I don*t know I am talking over to one person at a time that*s a no, no. 8 past the hour my name is David Lawrence, thanks so much for tuning into the show it is Online Tonight. And what we do here is trying to, especially after the holidays when everybody is gotten there new computers and they are trying to figure out what to do with them, plug them in, got on the net and boom, popup ads. Well we are happy with that, that*s not a problem. Here is the deal, you call in, you talk to me, I help you out and sometimes listeners get involved as well, if I don*t know the answer I will ask people. And they will call in with it.

But most of the time, we just sort of chatting about what you are using technology to doing your life whether its with your family or at work or with your local civic groups or whatever. And it*s not just about your personal computers its also about the Internet, its about the websites Google, Yahoo, AOL if you have got questions about that most of you know that I am the guy that you hear on the phone, when you call up America Online text report lines. You hear my voice before you here live persons. So we know a lot about America Online. Also if you have got a Macintosh. We love Macintosh questions. PCs if you have got a PDA either a pocket PC or a Palm device, Cell phone that includes smart features if you have got a portable mp3 player, maybe you got an iPod for Christmas like I gave my kids. And I got to tell you the story of going to DC. Visiting my kids and sitting down in front of there Windows XP Pro computers. So Windows XP pro is the operating system. To install the iPods for them. There were, I think the end count came back and I think I told you Ms. Von Schtupp, the end count was something like 618 Ad network items.
