Ibas warns against misinformation:Virus does not erase your hard disk!

Virus authors have decided to exploit the confusion around the Year 2000 problem and are now releasing virus programs with trigger date around the start of the new millennium. Many of these viruses even simulate a Year 2000 problem. Unsuspecting computer users will concentrate their defence on known Year 2000 problems instead of virus. Different viruses are already on their way, and the first one was triggered on the 1st of December. Most of them spread as so-called "worms" via e-mail. Some of them carry personal messages, which make you believe that the mail is sent by a friend. If you open the attached file your hard disk will be infected. When the virus is activated at a later date it can delete files, format your disk and do other seemingly irrepairable damage to your data. Furthermore the virus will spread by transmitting a copy of itself to persons on your mailing list.

Ibas recovers data after virus attack
Ibas has already recovered data from computer systems from all over Europe after such virus attacks. If you have not experimented too much yourself with different utility programs there is a good chance that we can recover most, or all, of your lost files. The degree of success will depend on individual circumstances in each case.

Ibas engineers work 24 hours a day to help customers who have lost their data. Our helpdesk phone + 47 62 81 01 00 is manned with experienced engineers who can give professional assistance at any time.
