Oh, I read about that. And my clueless brother is on GAIM whining about how he got BADTRANS. First, I told him to get Norton AV and update it every week. Second, I told him to keep an eye on the Symantec site for warnings. Third, explicitly told him not to use Outlook or open mail with attachments. I even downloaded the free Eudora 5.1, installed it, and carefully walked my brother through using it. Yet he managed to ignore all my instructions and warnings. When I visit my folks this Christmas I'm bringing along my FBSD install media, wiping my brother's disk, and installing a real OS. Maybe the little shit will listen when I teach him to use Window Maker, Sylpheed, XMMS, Mozilla, and Konqueror. I don't need MS-related headaches from my luser brother; Xiombarg knows I deal with enough at work. Of course, Xiombarg also knows that Anthony Atkielski will see this and say that I shouldn't be expecting my brother to use BSD on the desktop. > > We will help you get secure right now. Here's how. Wanna get secure? Open a DOS prompt and type "FORMAT C:".
