I contacted Mr. Beletti to ok the posting of this information and in this forum section.
This is for your information to let you know what might cause a problem on Wednesday if you do not have your Windows Operating System upadated and a good Antivirus Working.
If you purchased your Antivirus over a year ago and have never updated it you are most likely not protected.
********************************************
If anyone is using an operating system other than Microsoft it may not effect them.
So just to let you know what I found.
There is a virus that has been real bad in the past that took a lot of servers down, called Conficker.
Every one needs to back up their data. This is very important. This thing is very hard to get rid of.
Everyone must have an Antivirus.. I am using Trend Micro.
If everyone has kept up the Microsoft Updates they should be ok and not need the downloads below..
Here is some URL’s that might be useful.
