Anyone know what this says

On trouve parfois dans les forums ou dans son courrier électronique des avertissements
inquiétants décrivant les ravages causés par un nouveau virus qui circulerait sur les serveurs de
mails ou de news. Ce virus aurait le pouvoir d'agir à la seule lecture du message qui le véhicule.
Bien sûr, l'avertissement conseille de transmettre l'information au maximum d'internautes. Et
finalement, s'il y a bien propagation, ce n'est pas du virus, mais de l'avertissement lui-même,
relayé par des utilisateurs crédules mais de bonne foi

le virus le plus dangereux pour un ordinateur ne serait il pas avant tout son utilisateur ? .cqfd

De telles fausses alertes - en anglais hoaxes (canulars) - réapparaissent cycliquement sur l'Internet. Les
"nouveaux" virus ont pour noms "Penpal", "Join The Crew" , "Win a holiday"...sans oublier le fulfnbk.exe
!........


Vous trouverez la liste de ces canulars et des précisions sur chacun d'eux sur le site "> http://www.hoaxbuster.com

Ces canulars mis à part, peut-on infecter son ordinateur en parcourant l'Internet ?
Rappelons qu'à ce jour, un virus ne peut infecter qu'un fichier exécutable (exe, com, dll...) ou un document
associé à une macro-commande (macro-virus de Word).

Le Web :
Une page Web ne peut pas contenir un virus à proprement parler. Par contre, un auteur
malintentionné ou simplement maladroit peut inclure dans sa page une applet ou un script
ravageur. Cela va rarement plus loin qu'un blocage du système. Même si ce n'est pas
agréable, les risques restent limités.
Il est possible d'interdire l'exécution de scripts et d'applets en choisissant un niveau de sécurité élevé pour son
navigateur. Mais de plus en plus de pages faisant appel à des contrôles actifs, cela se fera aux dépens d'une
navigation commode.

Courrier électronique et groupes de discussion :

Si les messages sont au format texte (cas le plus courant) : le message ne peut pas
contenir un virus à proprement parler ; cependant, tout fichier exécutable attaché au
message est susceptible d'être infecté.
Prévention : ne pas ouvrir directement les fichiers attachés ; toujours choisir l'option
"enregistrer sur le disque" et contrôler l'intégrité du fichier à l'aide d'un bon anti-virus.

Si les messages sont au format HTML (non recommandé par la netiquette pour les
groupes de discussion, utilisable pour le courrier si le logiciel de courrier du
destinataire accepte ce format) : les risques sont les mêmes que pour la navigation sur
le Web, donc assez limités.
Cela ne concerne que les utilisateurs de logiciels de dernière génération. Mais même
avec ceux-ci, il est toujours possible d'interdire le chargement des messages en
HTML.

One finds sometimes in the forums or his electronic mail of the worrying warnings describing the devastations caused by a new virus which would circulate on the servers of malls or news. This virus would have the capacity to act with the only reading of the message which conveys it. Of course, the warning advises to transmit information to the maximum of Net surfers. And finally, if there is propagation well, it is not virus, but of the warning itself, relayed by credulous users but in good faith wouldn't the most dangerous virus for a computer be it not before all its user? cqfd Such false alarms - in English hoaxes (hoaxes) - reappear recurringly on the Internet. " the new " viruses have as names " Penpal ", " Join The Crew ", " Win has holiday"... without forgetting the fulfnbk.exe!........ You will find the list of these hoaxes and the precise details on each one of them on the site " > http://www.hoaxbuster.com These hoaxes put aside, can one infect his computer by traversing the Internet? Let us recall that to date, a virus can infect only one executable file (exe, COM, DLL...) or a document associated with a macro-command (macro-virus of Word). The Web: A Web page cannot contain a virus to be strictly accurate. On the other hand, a malintentionné or simply awkward author can include in his page an applet or a devastating script. That goes seldom further that a blocking from the system. Even if it is not pleasant, the risks remain limited. It is possible to prohibit the execution of scripts and applet by choosing a level of security raised for its navigator. But more and more of pages calling upon active controls, that will be done at the expense of a convenient navigation. Electronic mail and newsgroups: If the messages are with the format text (case more running): the message cannot contain a virus to be strictly accurate; however, any executable file attached to the message is likely to be infected. Prevention: not to directly open the attached files; to always choose the option " to record on the disc " and to control the integrity of the file using an anti-virus good. If the messages are with format HTML (not recommended by the netiquette for the newsgroups, usable for the mail if the software of mail of the recipient accepts this format): the risks are the same ones as for navigation on the Web, therefore limited enough. That concerns only the users of software of last generation. But even with those, it is always possible to prohibit the loading of the messages in HTML
