In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Yes friends this is really something to celebrate. Original URL: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/19/pc_virus_at_20/ PC virus celebrates 20th birthday Today, 19 January is the 20th anniversary for the appearance of the first PC virus. Brain, a boot sector virus, was let loose in January 1986. Brain spread via infected floppy disks and was a relatively innocuous nuisance in contrast with modern Trojan, rootkits and other malware. The appearance of the first Windows malware nonetheless set in train a chain of events that led up to today's computer virus landscape. Boot sector viruses ceased to appear when floppy discs went out of fashion but they continued to be a nuisance between 1986 to 1995, when internet technology started to penetrate the consumer market. These types of viruses relied on people to exchange infected discs and virus outbreaks often took months to spread.??? The creation of macro viruses, which exploited security weaknesses in Microsoft word and other applications, meant that malware outbreaks peaked after days instead of weeks and months. Macro viruses ruled the roost for around four years between 1995 and 1999 before email became the main vector for viral distribution. Harnessing the internet meant that the time it took the first email worms, such as the Love Bug, to spread dropped from days to hours. Email worms such as the Love Bug and Melissa caused widespread disruption and confusion in 1999 before they were brought to heel. By 2001, network worms such as Blaster were created that automatically and indiscriminately infected Windows PCs without adequate protection. Email and network worms remain a problem today but the greatest problem these days is posed by key-logging Trojans designed to snoop on user's private information, such as online account details, and the many strains of malware that turn infected PCs into zombie drones under the control of hackers. The biggest change over the last 20 years has been in the motives of virus writers rather than in the types of malware they've cooked up, according to anti-virus firm F-Secure. "The most significant change has been the evolution of virus writing hobbyists into criminally operated gangs bent on financial gain," said F-Secure's chief research officer Mikko Hypponen. ?This trend is showing no signs of stopping." "There are already indications that malware authors will target laptop WLANs as the next vector for automatically spreading worms," he added. ?

Since that time I have had a chance to go to the discussion thread at Apple and it turns out that this is a widespread problem for persons who have done the software update for iTunes 6.0.2 and are running Panther 10.3.9 This thread discusses the problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa;jsessionid=afRoM7sT-7ja6WWc4J?messa geID=1495046� Attached is a word doc that pulls out an answer from that thread that contains a possible fix. One of the subsequent responses in the thread blames Universal Binary code in the iTunes update for the problem. Below is the original message from my colleague here at work that started this inquiry. MacJanitor does not appear to have anything to do with this problem. Bruce Wells Okay Bruce....... I went home and did what you told me to ..........downloaded Mac Janitor, ran the program.......then went to Disk Utility and here?s what happened. The repair disk permission began to run and then put up this message: Disk Repair has lost it?s connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch disk Utility. When I do this.......the same cycle starts all over again. Now what do I do...????? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Is Family Tree Maker OSX compatible? We have friend using OS 9.2 and Family Tree Maker. They want to upgrade to a G5 using OSX but, worry about using Family Tree Maker. They were told that Family Tree Maker runs only on PC?s. If they can not use it, is their another Genealogy program that will run on OSX and will import Family Tree Maker data. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I found it a bit cumbersome to use Family Tree under VPC though. Since I was in need of an upgrade anyway I looked at other software I could run Mac native. Reunion 8 is the grand-daddy from what I saw however, I chose MacFamilyTree It will depend ultimately upon your friend's needs but I found this a quite suitable, less expensive alternative ($49) when I decided to give up one of my last remaining Win apps. MacFamilyTree is on version 4 and has released a universal binary version that will work natively on the new Intel iMacs/Macbook Pro's.
