Word perfect (well, not quite)

[kdd9]

I was browsing a tech support forum today and a certain topic caught my eye:

Corel Word Perfect ---> Jesus

It is a post that dvk01 is helping on. Here is a quote from the user's first statement. I like that the guy has not lost his sense of humor over the ordeal:

Today when I turned my computer on, the Wordperfect icon on my desktop was renamed to "Jesus." Whereas I believe in Jesus, it don't believe that Wordperfect is Jesus (although it is probably moreso than MS Word) Just wondering if anyone has heard of any virus that would change icon names . . .

More likely that was a 'friend' using his computer, just renamed it.

I do get that at my churhc computers from time to time, although the naming convention is not the same

I didn't get this part of the fix:

The O4 entry that starts dm***.exe ( it will be different every time it starts so I can't tell you exactly what it is but it will start DM then have 3 or 4 random letters then .exe

I can't find any dm***.exe file in the O4 entries....

Checking my reading skills...lol

You know, this points out that when you (the user) gets infected, the choices are to get angry, get even, get clean or get plain silly

He must have a good sence of humour, he is using the onboard nVidia firewall/anti hacker. I have yet to see one of these work correctly.

It's part of the Wareout fix I beleive. I can't find it exactly but I'm pretty sure I read it as an addition to the fix somewhere.
