Virus Fix and New Features from Drag Racing Online
The good news is we have a way to fix it. The bad news is we may have sent you a virus. I'm sorry to have to tell you that the expiration of our anti-virus program escaped our notice. When we did discover it and loaded the new updated anti-virus program, we found that we were infected with several viruses (or more accurately, worms), which we may have inadvertently passed along. Your own anti-virus program may have detected and repaired any viruses or worms you received from us; if not, the following tools should be able to remove them. 1.. FixBadtr.exe This is the Removal Tool for the W32.Badtrans.B@mm worm; it can be downloaded from: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.b@mm.removal.tool.html. You can find more information about this worm at: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.b@mm.html. b.. FixSirc.com This is the Removal Tool for the W32.Sircam.Worm@mm worm; it can be downloaded from: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sircam.worm@mm.removal.tool.html.

Fixhybf.zip This Fix Tool can be downloaded from: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.hybrisf.fix.html. Important Note: This tool will only run in DOS mode. Specific instructions are provided at the link above. The W95.HybrisF Fix Tool will repair the infection caused by W95.HybrisF. W95.HybrisF is one of the encrypted plug-ins that are downloaded by the W95.Hybris.gen worm. This plug-in infects Portable Executable (PE) files, such as screensavers. You can find more information about W95.HybrisF at: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w95.hybrisf.html. 4.

You can find more information about the W95.Hybris.Gen worm atIf you have any questions, I will be happy to try and answer them; however, I should warn you that I am no expert on viruses or computers, and that everything I know about these worms I have learned from Symantec (www.symantec.com), makers of Norton AntiVirus. For those of you who have never been to their site, it is easy to navigate and their directions are clear. You will want to click on the "Security Response" section, where you can find information on specific viruses, worms and trojans; Fix Tools and Removal Tools; patches for vulnerable programs; and instructions to remove infections and repair files. (You can go directly to this page by clicking on http://securityresponse.symantec.com/). Once on the Security Response page, the areas I found most helpful were "Latest Virus Threats" at the top of the page, "Virus Definitions," "Removal Tools," and "Top Virus Threats." We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. On a brighter note, here are our newest additions to Drag Racing Online: a.. IHRA Race Coverage from Virginia b.. New Drag Stats c.. New Burk's Blast Check out these and other recent updates at www.dragracingonline.com. **Drag Racing From A Different Perspective** **If you do not wish to be on this mailing list, please return this message to: dragracingonline@hotmail.com with "Remove" in the subject line.
