My fellow posters.

There is a virus in a recent post dated 2004/03/02. This TITLE OF THE POST
is ( Re: Hello, content.partner, New Internal Rls...).

Please check your computers for viruses. I am pretty sure that in many cases
your virus scanner will report's back negative, so when this happens, go to
a free online virus scanner and let it scan your computer. I recommend you
do a Gogle search and search for the best free online virus scanners and
follow accordingly.

The virus is W32/Torvil.B.worm

Torvil.B

Technical name: W32/Torvil.B.worm

Alias: I-Worm.Torvil.d, W32/Torvil.D, W32/Torvil@MM, W32.HLLW.Torvel.B@mm

Type: Worm

It ends processes belonging to system monitoring, antivirus and firewall
applications.

Affected platforms:  Windows 2003/XP/2000/NT/ME/98/95

First appeared on: Oct. 23, 2003

In circulation? Yes

Brief Description

Torvil.B is a dangerous worm, as when it has affected a computer, it
prevents any program from being run.

Torvil.B mainly spreads via e-mail, P2P applications, such as KaZaA or
Xolox, and the chat channels IRC or ICQ.

Torvil.B is sometimes easy to identify, as it can reach computers in a
message with one of the following attached files: YOURWIN.BAT,
PROBSOLV.DOC.PIF, FLT-XB5.RAR.PIF, DOCUMENT.DOC.PIF, SEXINTHECITY.SCR,

So presumably, we are "running programs" in order to read your post,
non?

So I would therefore further surmise that anyone who could read your
warning doesn't need it, non?

I further surmise that you are an idiot.

There is an inherent logic behind my comments, and none whatsoever in
yours, so you must be the idiot.

You are the most inconsistent poster I have ever seen on a newgroup.
Do you have a drinking problem?

No further response will be made on this nonsense.

Oldbie, your simply doing me a favor by not responding to my comments. I
sincerely appreciate your gesture.

Let me ask you Oldbie, ( a rhetorical question of course, not wanting an
answer back ). someone went out of their way to alert everyone in this
newsgroup, ( directed mostly to those who are not computer literate ), about
a virus deliberately posted to this newsgroup. Why do you find a need to
post a sarcastic remark about that?

Here is what you posted in a response to the warning to the group about the
W32/Torvil.B.worm, " So presumably, we are "running programs" in order to
read your post, non? So I would therefore further surmise that anyone who
could read your warning doesn't need it, non?"

Your an idiot Oldbie, and you have your facts wrong. Your sad reality is
that you get off posting to this group for the sole purpose of irritating
other's.

Even if we were consider your illogical gibberish, ( which I personally
don't ), are you suggesting to everyone here that if they were actually
infected with the W32/Torvil.B.worm, they would know it, it would be
obvious, and there would be no way they could have read the warning? In
other word's, ignore the virus warning because your all still connected to
the net and reading newsgroup post's.

Look! You're so stupid that you think 'harass' is two words. Stop trying to
grab my attention by constantly irritating me you menace! I'm not gay and
not interested! Got it??

No, anyone who can read the warning hasn't executed the attatchment.

Most know not to run questionable programs, but mistakes happen,
thanks for the warning, is more apporpriate than an exhibition
of arrogance.
