VIRUS !!! (in DX7 SDK?)
Author
At 12:00 midnight on 25/04/2000-16/04/2000 both me an GEo were working on our computers. GEo''s PC restarted its self and my PC crashed. When both PC''s were rebooted they would boot of the hard-drive and all data was lost.
The only thing exchanged between us recently was the DirectX 7a SDK which when it was downloaded the self extracting zip header was corrupt so we opened it in WinZip, this may have nothing to do with the virus...but both machines perminatly lost 3years of unreplaceable work...the machines were running separatly an in no way connected.
If any one else has the problem PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

The most logical explanation would be that a virus infected the .Exe file on one of your computers and was then passed on to the other.
If I''m not mistaken, it would have been the Chernobyl virus if it fired last night.

I got that virus too. I did not have protection. 
Get Nortion Antivirus 2000. That is the best one that I have. If you have PC-Cillin that comes with your motherboards, you should be fine.

It is times like this I wonder why people don''t invest a few dollars in some backup protection... even zip drives are worth the money.

PC-Cillin Missed it!
I no longer think it had any thing the do with the SDK (122Mb which I lost!!!)
And since last night I am definately think of getting some backup.

it cannot be the sdk. i run a virus scan every week w/ the most recent files. and i have no virus to be found
If it was the SDK, a whole lot more people would be crying, including myself.
I back upone multiple zips and CDs everytime a make a significant change, when a major bug is fixed, and every time there is some other type of progress. I am so paranoid, I don''t even keep all my backups in my house. If the place burns down, or there is someother type of natural disaster, I will still have my code.
Sounds strange? I don''t care.
