Virus Warning. Please open this!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Czas na Zywiec · 10-28-2002, 05:41 PM

I got this in an email and I thought that it's just another pointless virus warning, but I decided to check cause I had nothing better to do. So I looked in my C: drive and actually found the virus sitting on my computer and in a matter of days my computer would have been dead and I would have never seen you all again.

So just in case, you might as well check and be on the safe side. I've sent e-mail to Jenny before, so I'm sorry Jenny!!! LOL

Yea well don't worry

, on the link it tells how to get it back... The File is a Java Debugger Manager, So I guess some JAVA wont work without it...

I deleted it, and I can't make heads or tails out of the instructions on how to put it back. I have Windows Millenium. What is Java anyway?
This is great.

Truth · 10-28-2002, 06:24 PM

Go down to the bottom of the link, It will say how to restore it...

Truth · 10-28-2002, 06:27 PM

Hopefully I can explain Java Correctly... Java is a type of website language.... IT is used usually in online games... like on Yahoo Games... where you play chess against other people... That uses Java... But its used in other stuff as well (Anyone else who knows feel free to add on)

Thanks for the information. I don't think I use Java. The link you provided stated that Windows Millenium will recover the file on its own, but I still wish I hadn't deleted it.
