This ones a little differant. Keep your defense's up !!<P>Another malicious email virus is going around. <P>A Trojan horse that uses ActiveX is lurking on the Internet. Trojan horse Offensive, so named because it makes offensive references within the Windows registry, could arrive via e-mail as a link to a Web page ending in .html. When opened, the Web page will display a button that says "Start." If pressed, Offensive will severely damage your Windows operating system: no icons will be visible on the desktop, no programs will execute, you will not be able to shut down Windows, and you will not be able to work around these effects in the Safe Mode either. According to Symantec, if you have been affected by Offensive, you should contact a computer professional. Because Offensive is not yet widely reported but may cause serious damage, it currently ranks as a 5 on the CNET Virus Meter.<BR>At this time, only a few antivirus companies have updated their signature files to include Offensive. You can limit your chances of exposure to Offensive by disabling or selectively accepting ActiveX components when visiting untrusted Web sites.<P>This one isn't as obvious as the "Hi, How are you?" that has been going around recently, so be extra cautious when you click on links in your emails.<P>Cheers<P>Tex
