Powerful Trojans are going around that brought down my kernel 2.4.22
last night. I first noticed the system was very sluggish and I could
not longer use Nautilus. Then my email inbox stopped working. Then
cups. One virus is java related.
I quickly ran my Vexira --update and did a full scan.

Vexira repaired none of these, just gave me alerts.
Sending this email after system clean load. All users should be on alert.
F.S.
