Worm Alert! Everyone update your computers

Featured Replies

Posted

CBS has announced that there's a new worm coming out tomorrow, so make sure you go to windows updates and make sure you have the latest protection software so you'll be safe!

Because they are in cahoots with microsoft who actually makes the worms to generate revenue for anti-maleware companies, which have to pay Bill Gates a monthly tithe.

Kidding. ;D

I read the CBS article, and I am less than worried. This thing is obviously known and being dealt with.

there's hundreds of new worms/viruses/trojans coming out everyday Pol, don't worry about it, they just chose a random one every month to keep computer illiterates aware of the problem that is with us 24/7 (they usually chose a slow news day). Having all the latest updates is a must anyway.

read an article that microsoft was coming out with an automatic update just for this one and mom told me it had officials that protect against this stuff worried because the people were watching everything they did.

 

yeah... stephen/ferathil got me this morning by taking the harddrive out of my computer and saying it apparently only attacks vista >_<

I have a mac so I am all good  8)

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW WHY WINDOWS SUCKS SO MUCH!

Grrr It will be ok. I will send you my old macbook.  ;)

did you ever happen to check the number of updates Microsoft has issued since winxp? It's several hundred thousand... just to put it into perspective: 8 years since XP = 8*365 days = 2920 days. So, several hundred thousand updates in that time... let's settle for 292000 to have an even number, gives you: 100 updates per day. One extra update... big whoopdyda? Nope :p

 

Oh and, they're all DANGEROUS until the next one comes along, which is usually about half an hour later...
