**Aerith's Knight** · 03-31-2009, 07:24 PM

It can't hurt.

I think they meant that whoever controls the "master" computer will activate it manually on the day, assuming it's true, I doubt it's an automatic time bomb virus.

Gotta give them credit though, the idea of spreading to a small span of computers across the world to act as hosts to spread across networks everywhere in a quick span of time is pretty cool anyway you look at it.

Con for configuration.
Fick is German for "smurf."

Actually during the Oct 08 attack the majority of financial infections WERE on Vista lol, most of the XP hits were from wide networks and home users.

No, I mean I can't get the UPDATE which is suppose to protect me. Vista isn't listed upon the downloadable Operating Systems.

**Bunny** · 03-31-2009, 08:40 PM

Because you already have the greatest virus ever created.

**Yar** · 03-31-2009, 08:42 PM

:evilking:

You're all at my mercy! Mwahaha!

By the way, I am now accepting bribes.

Bit of an update to put you guys at ease, aslong as you have the October Microsoft update patch KB958644, then your immune to it, if your unsure, then do the following

Tools > Windows Update > View Update History

then look for it

Also, just to be safe, do a full system scan to make sure that you dont ALREADY have it, several Anti-viruses were patched to detect it and severals programs were developed specifically to detect JUST that, look em up.

Someone should make a mac and linux virus that simply makes a dancing moogle appear randomly on their screen.
