Virus Help Team Nederland, the dutch department of Virus Help Team. A team that fights for a virus free computer community.
We help whoever needs help, free of charge with all your virus and spyware related problems.
Recently the VHT Forum has had a severe crash, causing all data to be lost. Now, however, the forum is back online again so anything virus related or even anything computers related can be asked on the forum again. Need to know where to go to for the forum? Check here.
Since not much is going on, on the virus fighting front, not much can be reported. There haven’t been any high risc viruses running wild (yet) so no information there either.
Don’t forget, if you want to know all about the low or medium risc viruses, you should go to http://www.virusalert.com
Since almost every day, new low risc virus warnings are issued, this frontpage runs the risc of being swamped with minor virus threats. Thus flooding the important notifications. Therefore I have decided not to post the low risc threats anymore. Instead, if you need to know about low risc threats I suggest you go to VirusAlert.info.
From now on, medium and high risc threats will be posted here.
