LostInSpace Report post Posted May 18, 2004 Good thing I have IE 6. Don't need to worry about that until someone finds a vulnerability and exploits it and I'm sure they will it's only a matter of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolferz Report post Posted May 18, 2004 It makes me a bit suspicious as to who is really writing these viruses. Virus threats to older Windows Operating Systems could persuade alot of people to upgrade their OS. No, I'm not going to start another conspiracy rant but, it does make ya wonder.

Yeah, that thought crossed my mind too but most of the new virus attacks are against windows XP no one seems to be bothering with windows98 anymore which is one of the reasons I'm sticking with that OS for a while longer. Agree, makes ya wonder about alot of things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh wait, this isn't the Politics and Religion forum Like I said, Boss, I'm only suspicious, not paranoid The virus authors seem to be exploiting any hole they can find in any software they can find it in. As for the purpose? Not a frelling clue. I'm waiting for a future attack that hits the US below the belt and they find the author and declare him/her an enemy combatant Cyber Terrorist. /puts the towel back over the lost Seeing Stone.
