It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

I was really hoping you wouldn't get it http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif
it took Ken 16 hours to get it off of our server pc
I am glad you got IW back up *hugs*

Glad to see us back! Wow, what a mess! And all that work just because some bored hacker someplace felt like damaging people's systems! grrr!

I upgraded my IE to 6.0 yesterday. MH got hit by the nimda virus too, so I got a warning early on! Figure that was what had IW down today, Z!

Welcome back, everyone!!

It seems that you are right, Sageridder. The virus WAS in the file. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/No...ons/icon18.gif

Great job, Ziroc. My husband's company got the virus on one of its server too, two days ago, and it took all day to them to remove the nasty thing.

The world is my oyster !

BTW, Hewlett Packard, where I work, sent a message to all HP workers, warning about mails possibly infected by Nimda, and that's what they are supposed to look like :

SUBJECT LINE: Subject line can be any random subject
MESSAGE BODY: Blank
ATTACHMENTS: File name ‘readme.xxx’, with one of the following extensions,
.exe, .com, .eml, or .wav.


Just a warning.

I think I got it from the IW, because after cleaning everything up I retried the IW, and Norton immediately started throwing warnings at me. I suggest anyone who has tried to access the IW in the past day have a good check.
I feel sorry for all the network people clearing this up, it took me 3 hours to get rid of it from 1 PC (luckily our home network wasn't connected up at the time). Somehow I managed to get 600+ infected files, which Norton AV to deleted, but Norton Utilities kindly put them in it's recovery file. Next time I scan I still have 600+ infected files - argggghhhhh.

i have to thank wolfgir for everything about the virus!!! he saved me from hell! i mean i was wondering why IW was down, and i am usually ignorant about viruses so i didnt really know... i talked to wolfie and he told me that IW was infected with it, and anyone who visits the site... oh well... had it remedied minutes after i had it!!! ALL COZ OF WOLFGIR!!! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gifhttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gifhttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif
