The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hey,
Well I'm not sure if anything serious has happened yet. But I did try to
open the file attachment not realizing what it was. Stupid me. Normally I
don't do it. But I thought this was a friendly group and did give it a
second thought. My AVP (Anti Viral Toolkit Program) picked up something
and it appears to have possibly written some code into wsock32.mtx.
Unfortunately I couldn't even disinfect or remove it. AVP couldn't access
it and I'm running WinME right now. If I could get to DOS from bookup I
could delete probably. But Win ME doesn't give ya that ability. I hate
Microsoft.  I should regress back to Win98SE. Strange thing is I don't
know where wsock32.mtx comes from because I checked all the cab files on
the WinME disc and nowhere to be found. AnywayZ....

Take it easy,
Darren

My advice is to make a boot disk and boot into dos.  go to add/remove 
prgorams in your control panel.  And go to the tab for start-up disk.  I 
think I'd also find a better anti-virus program.  I user norton, personally, 
haven't had any problems with it.  Another good option is McAfee's.
