In Brief
More Viruses Threaten Palm Devices
Last month we reported on the Liberty Crack Trojan horse, which attacks Palm OS handhelds. McAfee.com has discovered two additional assailants. One, a virus known as Phage, causes screen blackouts and infects other programs; it can also spread through e-mail or an infected Web site. The other, called Vapor, is a Trojan horse that hides all the icons for your third-party apps as if they'd been deleted. McAfee.com has posted disinfection instructions in its Virus Information Library. Once you're there, click Newly Discovered Viruses and scroll down to the links (also provided here) for Phage and Vapor.
MSN Explorer Banishes Outlook Express
If you downloaded Preview 2 of Microsoft's new Internet software, MSN Explorer, you may have run into an unpleasant glitch: MSN Explorer kicks out Outlook Express and installs Hotmail as the default e-mail program. Currently, as soon as you accept the end-user license agreement, your e-mail program is converted to Hotmail. Microsoft has promised to fix this problem so that you can tell MSN which e-mail program you want (Outlook Express is the only program bumped by the glitch). The fix should be available by the time you read this. For details, go to MSN.
