SkydiveMonkey 0 #1 October 4, 2002 Just heard on the radio there's a big virus going around that can steal credit card details from your pc. It's called BearBite (or something like that) and speards though email. THey said the only way to tell if you have it (other than AV software) is your printer will chuck out loads of blank sheets of paper.____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This hit every one of our offices - almost every state.Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slappie 9 #3 October 4, 2002 We had a wierd printer problem the other day this week. all the computers in the building started spitting out blank paper with a small line or two of acsii code printed on them. Could this be the same virus? I'm a skydiver!! HAHA I don't have any credit card numbers on my computer!! What's credit anyways? That is a word I haven't heard connected to my name in years!! hehe "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Slappie 9 #7 October 4, 2002 Only thing I've found on the web with bear&virus is the hoax of the Teddy Bear virus.. Where your told to delete the Java Debug program in Winblowz.. http://www.f-secure.com/hoaxes/jdbgmgr.shtml If someone gets a link please let me know. Like I posted earlier we had printers all over the building spitting out paper.. So who knows..
