If possible can you tell me some non-specific and specific host defense mechanisms? Thanks, any info is appreciated.

Innate (non-specific) immunity:\n1) the enzyme lysozyme, which if found in tears and saliva, breaks down cells walls of Gram positive bacteria\n2) skin/mucus provides physical barrier against opportunistic pathogens\n\nAcquired (specific) immunity:\n1) antibodies: most helpful against extracellular pathogens like most bacteria and fungi\n2) T cells: target host cells that are infected by intracellular pathogens like viruses (and a few bacteria)\n3) macrophages: release reactive oxygen intermediates that cause oxidative stress to various bacteria

A recent study confirmed your theory.\n\nIt is particularly the case when the feet or hads are cold.\n\nOf course, like someone said, it is not the coldness alone which makes you ill, but, like you said, your "resistance" is somehow lowered (I think it is that the immune response is slower) and that makes you more vulnerable to any pathogen.

Ok, guys, I just received the same notice from someone on my buddy list.  Since I don't just blindly accept it when someone tells me about a virus or any such stuff (Have been burned by believing that before!!!) I decided to do some checking on the net.  On the trendmicro website I found some information stating that the j_neutron07 "virus" is just a hoax.  Nothing on snopes.com just yet either way. As always, the choose is yours as to whether you want to believe or not, just be informed before you decide!!!

Unfortunately the world is full of people who would like nothing more than to mess with others in a destructive manner. Just make sure you have Webroot's Spysweeper installed on your computer and you will not need to worry about this ever again, it runs 24/7 and locks down your HOST file.

I would recommend CA Internet Security Suite, i am using it and for 3 years i haven't found any infection on my computer.

Hello,\nFirst off, if you are using Yahoo's new Beta email then don't worry, and if not then I would highly recommend it, it is very cool. But now to the virus. Here is the link to the report:\nhttp://cbs5.com/topstories/local_story_164151137.html\nBasiclly Yahoo says they have resolved the issue.\nCheers ...\nRick

you may be resistant to a strain of bacteria...over time viruses/bacteria mutate and your t-cells, memory cells may not recognize them.... thus becoming prone for infection/disease.

Nod32 very good.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nGood Luck.

clear the internet history of your computer.. if it does'nt work.. format your computer.. but if you cant afford to lose all your files maybe you should try installing zonealarm security suite... but i strongly recommend that you format your computer because we aint sure how serious this attack is.. it can create bad sectors in your harddrive and it will create damages even in your hardware

Conrad,\nYou are asking how can we get users to become more resposible and take charge. \nThey are lazy.\nAs I have grown with this www, i have got a few nasties and sought out ways to eliminate the threat.\nI use all of the above, plus a few more.\nViruses have attempted to enter my system from Trusted Clients who have not upgraded their defenses.\nThe worst offender to date is Duke Energy form Charlotte, NC.\nThey just tell you it can't happen, and I have learned to accept only faxed or mailed job requirements/specifications from them when negotiating a contract.\nThis scenario only goes to show that Viruses/Spyware can come from any place. \nAgain,  thank you for posting a question in a way that hopefully will awaken at least one other user and take responsibility, letting others save time with scans, etc.

There is a web hosting server, which has got different virual folders setup as websites...more like a schema...those folders are locked with a referenced IP address. So when you type in the website address...DNS reosloves the name to the IP address...and gives you the website to  your browser!\n\nHelps??

Hi there,\n\nThe best solution for this kind of attack is an Intrusion Protection System (IPS).  The best one currently available is a program called Prevx1.  This is an all-in-one solution that is continually proving to detect, protect and remove more malware (virii, spyware, adware, trojans, etc) than all leading security programs - PLUS protecting against your problem of hackers.\n\nYou can read more about Prevx1 and download a free trial of their product from here:\nhttp://www.prevx.com

I have a lot of suggestions but without knowing more about you I am not sure what to recommend. There are many possibilities as to what caused this and finding the cause is half the battle. Something caused your immune system to get screwed up. it can be made better but eliminating the cause will speed the process.
