[Groop] Re: "Hi" Virus

[azamin]

If you are using outlook, then i believe the culprit was the outlook.... 
 Outlook is produced by Micro$oft.. with a lot of holes in its security 
against virus...  so does windows... (that's how bill Gates got rich.. 
by asking peopl to upgrade their system and pay him more...)

About the instruction that Mark gave.. it is not to be used on McAfee... 
but for us to check if we are infected or not by the virus...and some 
ways to remove it manually and some tools to remove it automaticlly from 
our operating system.. For the McAfee, I tink, its virus definition is 
not the latest one.... as this virus had appeared to us only  for the 
past 3-4 days... that's why it is not found in the scan.. try to visit 
their website for the update as it might be a bit late if we wait for 
the update to be sent by them.
