Konbanwa, my dear, ~understanding~ readers.
Perhaps a few of you have experienced a virus running around
the net recently. It takes a file off of its victim computer and sends
that file, along with itself, on to others. I call it the SCam worm.
It's a worm (according to my friend Chibi Tenshi, I really know next to
nothing about the differences), and creates a file called SCam32.exe in
an infected computer's windows/system folder. As this was the first
clear evidence I found that I had been infected, I have nicknamed it
SCam.
I, in my ignorance that anti-virus programs actually had
protection against bugs only days old, felt safe in opening an infected
file. Otherwise you wouldn't be reading this authors note, typed on my
step-father's computer, after being told my computer is likely beyond
reach by a friend of mine.
My friend has offered to back the stuff on my computer up,
and then fix my computer. I'm not a computer genius like he is, so
obviously I won't try to do this myself. I'd rather have someone I
trust backup my stories and mp3s.
My computer will take a while to fix, and as I am soon taking
a trip to visit my father for a few weeks, my absence will be even
longer then I had originally hoped. GOMEN! I do plan on making it up to
you though. My computer has been semi-usable for the past few days, and
as I have been isolated from the net, I have spent the time writing.
I am now on the second chapter of a possible Fushigi
Yuugi/Sailor Moon supernatural romance. I am also almost done a one
shot Gundam Wing/Sailor Moon fic that I hope to post soon. Progress has
been made on Son Usagi, Amazon Princess, and even The Fight for Ki. I
WILL make up for my stupidity with this virus problem, without which I
probably would have managed a few more postings before my upcoming
trip.
One final warning. If anyone receives a letter from someone,
even a friend, asking your advice on the file they are sending, and
that they will "See you later. Thanks," delete it. The attached file
is more then likely infected. I have already received several copies of
the virus, the mask files containing a history report, web page html,
and something about baseball I think. I believe I have already sent out
some of my own as well, the mask file being a Biology report my little
sister saved on my computer last year.
Hope to post more fics soon!
