Re: OT-Re: worm on th list

Hi, Though many consider netscape to be a poor alternative to explorer as a browser, it's far superior to outlook when it comes to mail. Far safer too. :-)). Most of us on linux use mozzilla for everything - browsing, chatting and email. daniel@electroteque.org wrote:

Is this worm/virus windows specific?

It appears so but considering a good percent of users are MS/Outlook users this is a bad one. Got over 100 yesterday, 100+ the day before and looking at the same today.
