Subject: Flawed Symantec update cripples Chinese PCs

An erroneous Symantec antivirus signature update caused Norton Internet
Security 2007 and Norton 360 antivirus software to identify two critical
system files (netapi32.dll and lsasrv.dll) as the Backdoor.Haxdoo Trojan in
the Simplified Chinese version of Windows XP (with Service Pack 2 and a
particular patch), resulting in those files being quarantined. As a result,
millions of PCs throughout China were crippled, unable to be
rebooted. ``According to Symantec, the problem was caused when Symantec made
a change to the automated process used by the company's security response
team to detect malicious software.'' [Source: Article by Aaron Tan, CNET

Of course - that's what you get for being st00pid enough to run windoze,
and counting on anti-malware to remove the bad stuff that you installed
by clicking OK on every warning message you see - but then mpst windoze
users think this is normal amd are continually amazed at the number of
viruses they have installed.

and get more windoze viruses and malware installed faster than before!!!
And as a bonus, we'll send you tons of spam at no additional cost!!!

What a surprise -- a spammer who doesn't know what a virus is.
