Ok guys, this is really really bad. There is this thing called the RCP worm. Its spreading all across computers in the world, and really quickly.
If your computer has been giving a popup window that says something about NT/AUTHORITY/SYSTEM and says that the RCP was terminated, your comp is infected. I dont know whos doing this. There was a leak in windowsXP and someones taking advantage.
I highly recommend getting mcafee to do a search. Man, this thing infected both my bros comp and my comp in the same day. If you think its infected just us, go check out google. Or for people who has Microsoft Outlook Express, if you subscribed to certain news forms, you’re likely to get this email about the RCP worm. My bro did. Hopefully if youve been getting windows updates off of www.microsoft.com, this thing will not affect ur comp. If your comp is already infected theres no point in getting updates anymore. I still have this thing in my comp. It keeps turning off my comp…
Yea Maxtr0sity, thats whats happening to my comp. And Jubba…mcafee does not suck, its the leading prog for viruses right now. I heard of avg too, i was gonna get that but mcafee is better.
Hehe, you people are so silly. I have never gotten a virus in my life or any kind of program that caused damage, I’ve never installed any virus protection programs. I feel so special.
very subjective. i had a virus on my computer and mcafee didn’t catch it. i got norton and lo and behold, there was a virus that was slowing my new machine down.
As I said before, I work in a computer shop and thru testing, my own results show that on many trials, AVG caught viruses that were missed, not only by McAfee, but also by Norton. In terms of overall protection the professional version of AVG is by far the best Anti-virus software on the market today.
Neither have I. It doesn’t get much press, but grisoft is an excellent company and the program is great. lol we had this one guy come in and AVG found 875 viruses on his computer. He had the comp for 3 years and never checked for viruses.
It was just a stuipd e-mail worm that kept duplicating itself… 875… I wish I could have charged him per virus

just give it time. One will get all of your data… gone… lost forever…
oneday it will happen. Maybe it will, even if you have anti-virus software, but it definitely will if you don’t
I use Norton Corp Pro, and it goes out, gets the updates, and installs them for me… I never have to do anything but approve the files it finds to delete.
We got the w32 Lovesan.worm at work… it sucked because we were among the first people to get it… Mcafee still didn’t know what was going on when we called tech support, but later on at night they released a new version of stinger with a fix.
Microsoft had already taken care of the security hole that the worm uses two weeks ago, but some of our computers at work hadn’t updated yet… it sucked
