    I feel like this is a way to get people OFFline all at once.

    There is discussion about this in every other forum I frequent. It's not an EoFF staff joke.

    I heard that avoiding logging in on April 1 will do nothing. Neither will advancing your computer's date.
    Unplugging ethernet=no internet whatsoever= cannot be remotely accessed by conventional means.

    I know. I heard that isn't how that virus works. Unless you plan to never reconnect, it'll still affect you (if you have it).

    I'd just like to state that this actually is a real virus that has been covered by BBC AND CNN since October. It's actually pretty insane for a virus. I updated my computer with the appropriate security patch, but the damn thing is scary.

    I hope this virus shuts down the internet and crashes the world economy.

    Christ, even my mom knew about it. Ridiculous. This makes me really pissed off. I had my updates turned off, but a few hours ago I updated everything... got some service packs 2 and 3 and all. I don't know. Hopefully that did something
