BCanr2d2 Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Only one command that is more of an OS killer than that one.... Had one of my Uni friends deliberately run DELTREE *.* on his flat mates PC - he didn't like him very much. Deltree much better command to kill a PC - deletes all files and subdirectories.....

Best thing to do is just don't open any attachments from people you don't know! that's what I do. My mom kept getting the same e-mail with an attachment from somebody she didn't know. she wanted to open it but I told her to delete everyone she got. after awhile the e-mails stopped. I think it was a virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather spend a few extra seconds than risk getting a virus when i click to open my Outlook Express it takes about 30 seconds to open. is this becuase of my Norton Anti Virus? hehe i iv never really known why it does it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
