MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY!

Larry,

Since you have decided to take a "Head in the sand like an ostrich" approach to this problem, I will go public with it too.

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY!

MALWARE ALERT!

Larry Dudash's website has a worm in it.

It appears as a Microsoft "System Privacy Update"

It disables most popup filters.

It does not have to be clicked on to do damage to your system.

It blasted right through my antivirus program and popup filters like they weren't even there.

It is a variant of the AGOBOT.EU virus.

I PM'd Larry and asked him to advise his Webmaster @ Geocities of the problem. His response was to publicly ridicule the two people that have been hit with his virus so far today.

Larry. That was arrogant and irresponsible of you.

BT

I was a little surprised by your response when I brought this pop-up subject up but I have been lectured by many,a little pin can deflate a very big balloon.If this is the source or a source of the virus that hit my computer it seems you would be doing all you could to solve rather than obfiscate,are you a politician?
