Does anyone on this list have any knowledge of a computer attack with an
item called a "Flash bomb." I need to know how to get rid of it. If you know
of any web sites with information or you know please inflrm me.


One of our residents here using our house computer was sent a flash bomb via
hotmail. What it does is infect the whole hotmail progam and consume
resources AND seems to operate in an invisible mode. the program freezes or
takes a very long time to function.


We need to clean this up in order for residents who were attacked to access
their vanagon mail via hotmail.


Please send any information that might be helpful.
