Average PC is a smorgasboard for a new MP3-eating trojan

[tkalli]

A newly-uncovered worm called W32.Deletemusic does exactly
what its name implies?it goes through a PC and deletes
all MP3 files in sight. And that's it.

A word to to the wise after twenty some odd years in computers :
Nothing on a PC or Mac is Safe
repeat :
Nothing on a PC or Mac is Safe

So long as you reach out to the web!!!!!!

Nothing on a PC or Mac is Safe



In other words if its important archive it elswhere if you want to keep it or keep it from prying eye's

That virus sounds sneaky, Next thing u go into ur music folder on ur pc and all ur songs are no longer there :eek: . Expecially if u had thousands and thousands of mp3s on ur computer and u didnt have a Ipod, or mp3 player to back them up. Heres more info on this virus if anyone wants to no more about it.
