05/9 - FREE ONLINE VIRUS SCANNER!

In a continued attempt to assist our members with the
recent email virus problems of the net, we are posting
this link to a FREE ONLINE virus scanner that should be
simple for everyone to use. If you get an email message
from our server telling you that you are infected by a
virus, please go to:

http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall

Once at the site, select your country (most likely United States)
then click the GO button. This will download and install
the free Plug-in for your browser. Then, simply follow
the screen prompts to clean the virus from your computer.

NOTE: We have found that some users need to close their
Internet Explorer after the plug-in finishes loading and
then re-open Internet explorer and go back to the site.
This finishes the install of the plug-in and it will then
function correctly. Netscape users will be prompted to
download a file and restart Netscape on your first visit
to this site.

While the Back Orifice Program is not actually a virus,
it does allow others to access your computer and to do
pretty much what ever they want to it. So I would call
that a VIRUS. A ton of little JERKS are on the net now
scanning ISPs for members that have the Back Orifice
program on their computer so you want to make SURE
that you do not have this "VIRUS".

The above comment is From
Jeff Paden owner of Modem Madness ISP
Jamestown NY


The Listed File below is called Back Officer on Patrol
and watches for BO and other Scans on your system
This Program has some very nice options and is
Free for personal use. If you cannot install this program,
you may already have BO on your system.

I am personally running this program and
already have caught several people trying to scan my computer.
This Back Officer program will make a log for your ISP and
law enforcement officials to nab a possible "CRACKER".
