beware of this virus heading tomorrow wednesday 1st april, this not a joke.

I don't believe in computer viruses.

I heard about it on the News... Not sure how much stock I put into it though... How can they determine that something is out there that isn't even activated yet??? When I heard them talk about it on the News it made me think of the Y2K BS 9 years ago... And before that there was hype about September 9th in 1999 {9/9/99}...

But as to not have any worries, I'll run my VP before doing anything of great value, like online banking or anything, just to be on the safe side...

yeah microsoft is offering $250,000us for information on the person responsible. There is no instruction with the virus as yet & no-one knows what it is going to do. Did read an article on how it's going to be tough to remove later on.

According to what I heard on the News that's a quick way to check and see if you have it... Just try going to a site like Microsoft's or Norton's... If you are able to access their site, you don't have the virus... Somehow the virus will block you from going to those types of sites so you will be unable to remove it...

We'll see... I think it will turn out to just be a big rumor... Something Microsoft probably started in order to get people to flock to their site to buy up Virus Protection programs...

Surely it's an april fool? Did anyone get affected by it?

Not me.

My computer did NOT get infected but today I have developed a terrible itch in my rear-recto-cavity. Could it be related?

WOW, can anyone say TMI... lol


It could be related though Jim, the Worm could have left your computer and quietly waited for you on your computer chair...

Going to a page like rectalcream.com and rubbing your butt against the monitor will not relieve your pains, Jim. Contrary to popular belief. It might, however, stink up your screen.

Also, if someone walks into the room and catches you with your pants down and you fall off your chair, no amount of geritol will help you back on your feet.
