PC Virus 'Time Bomb' Set to Go Off at Any Moment

I'm not clicking that...... And no I never heard of it either and I'd like to keep it that way. :D

i didnt hear of it until today either.....sounds like a deusey!!!

good luck fellow DBers!

1) Keep your anti-virus software updated.
2) Run all Windows security updates.
3) Do not click on it if you don't know what it is or who it's from!

Follow these three rules and you will stay in good shape and should stay out of it's path. :ok1:

Mac users realy don't have these issues since most of these things are geared towards Windows users.

One thing i did learn about it is that it doesn't effect MAC's, only PC computers.

They said it doesn't infect others by what you do on pc - the worm goes on its own know matter what. I think i got it cause i tried to go to the microsoft website and couldn't update! :argh::bat::madd::ph::ouch:

uh oh lol

I'll 2nd that... good rules. :U:

Hardware firewalls help out greatly.

This sucks cause my AVG is out of date but Windows XP is up to date. Any good recomendations on a free Firewall etc.?

Sooo my pc still works lol

yeah i aint never heard of this thing til now, yall worry to much





PS: If i dont log in anytime else in the next day or so, i got virus and im way to confident :D

See this bullsquash they had it on the news and everything also.

was just reading that if your comp is infected and have a firends who is not they can log onto the websites that offer a program to delete the virus and they can email it to you and then download the fix. hope we all get lucky but from the sounds of things it has been out there for a while now.:madd:

I'm thinkin April Fools - what a crock! :bat:

Sooooooo if they know all of this information about, why can't they stop it? :ph:

:humm:

Because its already installed on millions of computers worldwide - I would imagine that happened before anyone even knew about it.

I heard about it last night for the first time and while watching tv this morning the news stations computers had been infected by it. But I'm lucky so far!

Make sure your Anti Virus is up to date, and also Windows is up to date.

Well I think my laptop is screwed.... All I get is the blue screen of death on it and it says something about new software installed may be the cause of the problem even though I havn't installed any on it in a long time. It won't even run in any sort of safe mode or trying to revert back to known settings when it worked correctly... F-ME! :argh: God Damn computer hacker B.S. :gunner: :fu:

you have the restore disk that came with the laptop?
do you have a copy of the operating system any where or know someone that might have a copy of windows xp,vista what ever came on it?
if you can find a copy of the operating system somewhere ya might be able to repair it :w2:

Too much PORN eh? lol
