About time they updated that! - I was beginning to think that it had been

Notice it's twice as large as it used to be.

Mildly interesting!

After 4 months I was thinking the same. However, while I don't see it was updated for new
variants of Bagle vraiants (but it might have been) they added..

W32/IRCBot.worm family (includes W32/IRCBot.worm!MS05-039)
W32/Zobot.worm family


What I found interesting was they reverted back to calling it STINGER.EXE when on 5/03/2005
they indicated "Changed default download name to "s-t-i-n-g-e-r.exe" as Sober.p terminates
"stinger" based process names"

You would think they would have kept the name "s-t-i-n-g-e-r.exe". An email to AvertLABS
Stinger support has gone unanswered.

Maybe I'll post something in the McAfee Forums.

Correction, Silj, I do have a comment:

When the stinger is finished scanning, it reports the amount of clean files,
nothing else.
I take it, for that to mean, no 'bad stuff'.
Am I correct with my assumption?

Harry.

Harry,

I think the operative word here is "clean." ;)

Didn't see anything wrong with it, Dave.
But if it was, I apologize and promise to do better next time.

Harry.

Harry,

I was watching an episode of Blackadder Goes Forth last night. At one point
one of his men asks what to do if he should step on a mine. Blackadder says
'standard practice is to jump 200 ft into the air and scatter yourself over
a wide area'.

He might, alternatively, have said 'you have to ask?'

Shane:
Stepping on a mine?
Had no idea there were any in this area.
Have to be more careful in the future!

Harry.

Plenty around here, Harry.

Lieutenant George, looking at the map, indicates an area where there are 'a
lot of mushrooms'.

Captain Blackadder: Military maps don't show features such as interesting
flora. Look in the key and you'll see what they are.

Lieutenant George: It says 'Mine'......so the mushrooms belong to the man
who made the map?

The only thing to worry about then would be, the electric being shut off for
a longer period of time.
That's not going to happen, is it?
