There is a new virus going around the internet that is spreading fast. Unlike other viruses you don't have to do anything to get this one. It infects mostly Windows NT, Windows XP and Windows 2000 PC's The symptoms are a PC that is generating errors referring to TFTPXXXX and RPC and then rebooting. More info Here http://story.news.yahoo.com/fc?cid=34&tmpl=fc&in=Tech&cat=Computer_Viruses To keep all the PCs clean I would STRONGLY recommend that you use To use windows update go to the PC click start then Programs and look at the top of the programs list for a link to "Windows Update". FOllow the instructions on that page and install the "Critical updates and Service packs" that are recommended. The Windows updates and the drivers are NOT necessary here is one more place You can download the patches appropriate to your OS here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tr...in/MS03-026.asp This message has been edited by davidn on 08-12-2003 at 03:44 PM |

This just happened to me as I was loading McAfee on Jamie's new laptop last night with XP. You can also go to cnn.com under the technology section and they have a URL to click on that will take you directly to the patches also. Thanks David!! |
