Re: "w32/ovide.A" virus

Hi David,

Do you trust a computer that has been rooted? Can you be *absolutely* sure
you haven't missed something or that permissions haven't been changed?

I have a great deal of respect for you and your work--I am just surprised
that someone with your knowledge of security issues doesn't recommend
flattening a rooted system.

At this time a wipe/re-install of the OS is NOT suggested.
