Win95.CIH Windows 95/98 Virus
|
Win95.CIH is the first virus which may damage a hardware component. It
may render the system non-bootable by erasing some FlashBIOS chips and
will attempt to erase system areas of the hard drive. AND, I cleaned a
machine infected with it just this week.

Protecting Microsoft Office 97
Documents
|
With Office 97, Microsoft changed the file formats for their
applications. Because of this, anti-virus software may not be able to
scan for macro viruses in these applications. Read this alert to find
out how to protect these documents NOW.
