This is the alert that i got from my ISP
Response to the KAK Worm virus One computer affected. This email is sent
from a safe machine. Virus now eradicated and safety measures double-checked
24-7Freecall would like to apologise to any Internet user who may have been
affected by the KAK Worm virus that was unwittingly sent to some users. Sadly,
it was sent to us by a subscriber, also unwittingly. Only one computer was
affected by the virus. Unfortunately this computer was used to send replies
to a number of people. We would advise that if anyone received any email from
us yesterday (18th July) they should delete it without opening it. We have
now eradicated the KAK Worm virus from our computer and have undertaken a
thorough inspection of the whole system to ensure that it is not present anywhere
else. Although our systems are protected by anti-virus software it is prudent
that we recheck all of the hardware. The system has now been given the all
clear. As an extra precaution we will not be sending out any emails for the
next 24 hours. Any user unsure of what to do should call our Technical Support
on 0870 0777247 or visit these sites for step by step instructions on how
to delete any potential virus and to download anti-virus software:www.villagenet.co.uk/merlinscave/kak.html

In closing we would like to thank ISP Review and Net4Nowt for bringing this
to our notice quickly so that we could act immediately. Once again please
accept our apologies for any inconvenience that may have been caused.

INFO
What are required are transparencies of 35mm. or bigger,
100 ASA or lower. Pictures should show sharp detail , so a good focusing lens
is required. Be prepared to supply 100 transparencies or more for a good chance
to get any thing accepted. Each slide should be titled and have your name
on it. Please realise that I cannot be responcable for for any dealings made
between yourself and the names of those, whose addresses I supply. As far
as I know these people are running legitamite businesses.
First of all you can send what is known as a covering
letter, which briefly out lines the type and quantity of photo's/slides that
you have available(including Black and White pictures),Photocopy this and
send these to the addresses as a first enquiry. This will help you in establishing
which companies really want your work, and allow them to prepare to accept
your work. They will probably send you guidelines as to what they would like
to see. Promote what you have to offer rather than make an enquiry as to what
the company would like to see. They will want to have the confidence in knowing
that you have the photo's you list ready available, more than repeating to
another enquiry about their business requirements. If you have what they want
they will respond to you.

Freeware.
If there’s one thing that we all want,
or at least don’t seem able to resist, is something that’s free, and yes there’s
always that nagging at the back of our minds that if its free then what’s
wrong with it, or where’s the catch?. At the moment, it seems that there’s
a glut of ISP’s not only offering free access to the net, but free software
to boot. You’ll read that the software is compatible with Win 3.1 95 98 NT
etc, but beware that if its originally produced pre 95, then it definitely
wasn’t meant to run on Win95 or later, and that some files in Windows may
be overwritten to enable it to run, but will your other programs run O.K.
there after? Too often you’ll wonder why your program wont run, or the error
messages keep popping up. If your on the net, sometimes you can make a search
for missing files, and save your self from those error messages, but better
still, just keep an eye on the age of the software and the system you’re running!
Freeware sites offer a lot of software, but sadly there is very little that
you probably need there. If you already have a word processing package then
what need do you have of a program that replaces MS Notebook? That does not
mean that there is nothing of worth out there, just that you have to trawl
through a lot of rubbish to find any thing of use, and you cannot really tell
until you’ve downloaded it. There are sites that frequently come up, when
you do a search for freeware sites, and quite often it can be worth while
taking a look at sites of bigger names such as ULEAD, who some times offer
small packages for nowt. It all depends on what you want and it is worth while
having something specific in mind before you search, as a mindless search
on freeware will see you downloading all sorts of packages and when you get
your telephone bill you’ll wonder why you ever bothered. Here are some sites
that I’ve found useful,
http://www.winzip.comYes
its classed as Shareware, but it doesn’t time out, so it might as well be
FREEWARE for all we are concerned, and you’d be pretty stuck without it, if
you’re downloading from the net. Most of the files you are going to download
will need you to have this program on your system.What you download is an
Exe file or self executing file.You just click on the icon and the program
will install itself. Once its on your other downloaded programs can be opened
as when you click on a zip file, winzip kicks in and takes over, you then
just select 'Extract' to open the file up (and select the setup.exe fileof
the downloaded program in most cases.)
http://www.napster.com/
With this software you can search other peoples computors for music files
(even classical!) and down load them onto your computor.You can play the file
from the software as well!
http://www.copernic.com

free. http://www.ferretsoft.com/netferret/index.html

you should find links to all the latest available. http://www.ulead.com/download/download.htm
A few freeware items here.
http://www.megalux.hu/upaint/

picures into one. Just select first image with the box with "..." Then second
with the box below that one. Works fine!
musinum
Uses numbers to create musical masterpeices
http://www.ukonline.co.uk/Help/Chat/irc.html#software

with this software called IRC, choose the software marked for win 3.x or win95
http://www.analogx.com/
This lets you see real time live searches on
the web as they happen ,so you can see what key words people are using!!
WOCAR
This is the first free OCR(Optical Character
Recognition) software I'v ever come across!!
anti-vir
ANTI-VIRUS software. This is new to me. I'v
always been a bit unsure of Anti-virus software and never really bothered
with it, until I got the kak virus! I didnt want to fork out for a commercial
product, or end up paying for upgrades to cover for the latest bug. I found
this and gave it a go. On installing nothing seemed to happen, until the third
attempt when the install process kicked in.I think that the program was checking
my system before installing itself, but just didnt tell me about what it was
doing!.I ran the program and it found the TSADBOT.EXE virus that came with
'real player', after deleting it a box came up saying that TSADBOT.EXE was
missing, and that it was needed for programs to run(?!),mild panic set in,
but I was relieved that after rebooting, my programs are running fine!There
are no crashes in starting up!
homeplanet
I found that this site offers a free satalite tracking utility showing
the earth from space, with lots of real time info on moon phases etc.
guru.net
An interesting search engine thats a little
bit different in that it gives info rather than web pages .
weather
watcher An interesting program that
tells what the weather is likely to be like over the next 2-3 days in your
area, and any where else in the world!!!
Ergane
Free translating software. It wont translate whole documents,
but single words only. You have to download files for the native language and the language
to be translated to
nomodo
An interesting program that tells you whether
your chosen domain name is taken or not, and offers alternatives if it is
taken.
sunclock
A interesting screensaver/clock that shows
a map of the world with times of the variouse capitals in all the countries.
Stay Online
An interesting Program that stops your ISP
from disconnecting. You may be experiencing this especially during peak times
when many people are taking up the cheap options of free connections during
evenings and weekends, spoiling the enjoyment of the net for the rest of us.
This program will help keep you connected!!

PRYME is a webcam uploader that works
well, but fails to produce an html page that updates the webcam image as it
is uploaded. To do this a free java applet from
ANFY is needed called AnfyCam
that produces the code so that you can add this to your site manually.
Yes it works, You have to becare- full not to select the option to start up
as soon as your PC loads, but what a shame that a fully functional software
program couldnt be found.
