Computer viruses to hit China this week (Xinhua) Updated: 2004-10-26 00:40 The computer viruses known as Lovgate and Netsky
will attack China this week, but the damages will be limited, predicted the
Tianjin-based National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center.
Experts at the center -- the only anti-virus products testing and
certification center authorized by the Chinese Ministry of Public Security --
warned that the viruses, which will be spread via email in form of computer
worms, are capable of damaging certain system files and disabling Microsoft
Windows operating systems' anti-virus functions.
Experts are asking computer users not to click on unfamiliar e- mail
attachments as the viruses will be activated by a mouse click.
To prevent the viruses from spreading, the center suggests users shut down
the Internet or the Local Area Network (LAN) if their computers become infected.
Experts are also advising computer users to keep their anti- virus software
current and start their real-time computer virus monitoring functions when
surfing the Internet to avoid the viruse.
