BEWARE OF VIRUS "FORM_A"

by Pistol Pet » Wed, 03 Jul 1996 04:00:00

Just wanted to pass on some information to my Papyrus simm buddies.

I recently found a VIRUS in my system!
It only affected both the NASCAR and ICR2 simms, as far as I know.
I may have picked it up while downloading setups from the ICR2 WORLDS
RECORD page, although I am not 100% sure.

BE CAREFULL,
Pjrace

virus in a 128 byte  .stg file ???  You'd be better off to check any
exe or .com youve downloaded lately.

Pjrace,
Do you think you could post a little more detail about this virus? For
example, how you discovered it, and what it did to your sims? This may
help find the culprit file(s) before they/it get spread all over. I
wouldn't suggest "assuming" where it came from though. This may just
start another "I'm P.O.ed" thread, and we seem to be getting enough (too
much) of that lately as it is!

Thanks, in advance, for your response -LJA
