BEWARE OF VIRUS "FORM_A"

Just wanted to pass on some information to my Papyrus simm buddies. I recently found a VIRUS in my system! It only affected both the NASCAR and ICR2 simms, as far as I know. I may have picked it up while downloading setups from the ICR2 WORLDS RECORD page, although I am not 100% sure. BE CAREFULL, Pjrace

You'd be better off to check any exe or .com youve downloaded lately. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MP Scurvydog #00 Simpson-Cowlings Motorsports http://www.netcom.com/~svydog/scms/index.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pjrace, Do you think you could post a little more detail about this virus? For example, how you discovered it, and what it did to your sims? This may help find the culprit file(s) before they/it get spread all over. I wouldn't suggest "assuming" where it came from though. This may just start another "I'm P.O.ed" thread, and we seem to be getting enough (too much) of that lately as it is! Thanks, in advance, for your response -LJA
