worm virus on Mac - 2006/10/02 10:44I was recently informed by my ISP that I have passed on a worm virus via my email. I didn't think this was possible. It said that:
"Our firewall determined the e-mails containing worm copies are being sent from your computer. Nowadays it happens from many computers, because this is a new virus type (Network Worms). Using the new bug in the Windows, these viruses infect the computer unnoticeably. After the penetrating into the computer the virus harvests all the e-mail addresses and sends the copies of itself to these e-mail addresses Please install updates for worm elimination and your computer restoring."
So what program do I need? Thanks.

Re:worm virus on Mac - 2006/10/02 11:56It's possible to pass on a virus or worm even though it doesn't affect your own computer. If you go here and type antivirus in the search field, you'll get a list of apps that you can use.
