Guest guest Posted December 9, 2000 Report Share Posted December 9, 2000 I copied and pasted this from one of Len's post on the Down syn list. For more info on the hahaha aka Snow White, dwarf4you, (name keeps changing), virus, go to http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w95.hybris.gen.html for details. We had this on once of our computers TWICE...and we are deligent about not opening up attachments that we don't know who the sender is. Our virus detector did not pick it up, it was only after we downloaded the updated protector that it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
