Hello Guys, Has anyone encountered the Ethiopian worm?It corrupts all files and when you try to open a word/excel file for example it shows the below text message instead. Anyone who has encountered this please advice if and how you managed to get your documents back. ""I am sorry If I corrupted your files, but it had to be done! You can't get your files back because, I have already ruined them!!! The famous INSA will have solution for your problem! Proud to be the first Ethiopian Worm! .........THE ETHIO WORM!!!......... I know this isn't fair(corrupting your files), since I don't know you, you don't know me. But the world isn't fair! We live in a country which has the slowest internet connection! In Tibet for $27 a month, you will get 2mbps bandwidth... In Japan for $30 a month, you will get 100mbps bandwidth where as In Ethiopia for $200 a month, you get 5kbps bandwidth!!! And ETC won't allow any Internet providers since it want to suck your blood alone!!! We need change..., No!No!No! WE DEMAND CHANGE!!! ..........Bye for Now!!!.........."" Thanks!

David Aliata. Was talking to a guy who can help you. Have attached his email. He's Ethiopian and he knows all about this worm. Apparently it uses an encryption algorithm to lock out your Office docs. This is reversible. For the rest of you who leech a "cracked" kaspersky and think they are secure, please take a bow....

You can order online (Visiting funny sites) and you can also get free delivery (By Flash drives, CDs etc) if you do not have a watchman (Anti Virus) or your gatekeeper is too old to notice some trespassers. The solution is to get a youthful gatekeeper and use protection every time you have to insert things into your ports. David.
