O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00	Ok, for the idiots that will click on an attachment link as if it was really a HTML link - don't say you weren't warned - W32.Myparty@mm is a mass-mailing email worm. It has the following characteristics: Subject: new photos from my party! Message: Hello! My party... It was absolutely amazing! I have attached my web page with new photos! If you can please make color prints of my photos. Thanks! Attachment: www.myparty.yahoo.com The worm sends email to all contacts in your Windows address book, and to email addresses that if finds in the Outlook Express Inboxes and folders. In addition, the worm sends a message to the author so that the author can track the worm. On NT/2000/XP systems, the worm drops a backdoor Trojan that allows a hacker to control your system. NAV will detect this as Backdoor.Myparty. Finally, if the file name of the worm is Access., it may launch your Web browser to http:/ /www.disney.com. However, the worm does not contain code which can generate a file with the name Access., so it is highly unlikely that this will trigger. Also Known As: W32/Myparty@MM, WORM_MYPARTY.A, W32/MyParty-A, Win32.MyParty, I-Worm.Myparty Type: Trojan Horse, Worm Infection Length: 29,696 bytes Virus Definitions: January 28, 2002 Norton Symantic - W32.Myparty@mm Norton Symantic - W32.Myparty.B@mm is a variant of W32.Myparty@mm. McAfee - W32/Myparty.a@MM Trend Micro - Worm_MYPARTY.A Info / Patch / Fix New Email Worm 'My Party' Surfaces, Begins to Grow Mon Jan 28, 8:07 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - A new computer bug that tries to trick computer users into clicking on a virus-infected Web link masquerading as party photos emerged in Asia on Monday morning and began spreading to Europe, computer experts said. The so-called "My Party" worm, which is not considered destructive, spreads by infiltrating popular email software Microsoft Windows Address Book and Outlook Express Database. The worm emails itself to every person in an infected users' email log making it look as if the worm comes from a colleague or friend, experts said. Anti-virus specialist Trend Micro gave it a medium risk rating. Security firms said that compared with past email worms, such as Nimda and Sircam, the number of reported "My Party" infections thus far is moderate. The virus arrives as an email with the subject line "new photos from my party!" It contains an innocuous looking file attachment called www.myparty.yahoo.com. A message in the body of the email reads: "Hello! My party... It was absolutely amazing! I have attached my web page with new photos! If you can please make color prints of my photos. Thanks!" Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos Anti-Virus, said because it carries what appears to be an authentic link from the popular Web portal Yahoo and appears to come from a colleague or friend, the worm has the potential to spread quickly. As of 1200 GMT, Sophos received reports of infection from corporate clients and academic institutions in Asia, the Middle East and Europe. Sophos has devised a patch at: Sophos Patch. AIM: SmarterChild Write To Me Here I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories that about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

Hypnotized from all my surroundings. I wanna be something I could never be. I wanna say things that I could never say. Yeah, I'm gonna do it again! Sick of my life. I'm tired of everything in my life. Dragged down. Rubbing my face in the ground. No time for the undecided. I wanna know why I've always felt alone. And I wanna love. Why am I untouchable? Yeah, I'm gonna do it again! Sick of my life. I'm tired of everything in my life. I never wanted to be sick of my life. I'm tired of everything in my life.

Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70	Thanks, I just set up this warning so it gets sent to everyone in my address folder, and made it so as soon as my friends open it, it will be forwarded to everyone in their address folder, and so on. That way, everyone will get this warning, and they'll know not to open the virus. Thanks.

That way the whole virus would have been pre-emptively circumvented or at least bipolarly skewed.

Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70	When the fuck did that happen to HHH? It's been a while since I've watched (probably over a year) a second of WWF, but you've got to be fucking kidding me. He was always pretty big, but that's rediculous. Is his new ringside companion a pharmyacyst by chance?
