RE: reported virus

Thanks for the warning -- I received Elf Bowling from a friend and ran it -- I guess I need to virus scan my system now :-(

Too bad, it was a fun game.

RE: reported virus


Hold On! Wait a sec!

I just checked with McAfee, and they have reported this as a hoax. Check it out at: http://vil.mcafee.com/dispHoax.asp?id=ve10464

So, unless someone has very recently turned it into a trojan horse, Elf Bowling is OK to run.

RE: reported virus

We have just had an internal mail about a "fancy display called elfbow.exe" . Note NOEL. This file was infected with a virus, but it was detected and fixed.

I dont know if this a spelling mistake or if there really is another exe out there with a similar name
