New Internet Worm Targeting Windows

Just saw this on the news. May be of concern to some, just letting you all know I guess.

Whew...it's only targeting 2k. Thank god. Bill really needs to get on the ball for those people though. <_<

 

no, it can affect Windows XP as well.

just make sure you keep your updates up to date, and no problem shall accur.

you might be ok if you use 3.1, lol.

 

I watched the report on CNN. I should be fine though. It was also cool when the news guys computer had the virus on it.

 

good thing i have xp even though it still infectable lol

 

ooo lucky i updated

 

i have 2000 AND XP on my computer

 

Is it me or are they asking for it to happen when the announce flaws in the program. Ud think they would just try and fix it without people knowing.

 

then youre more vulnerable...

I know... they're not exactly made of Area 51 material, but why tell the peoiple before they make the fix?

Bill Gates: "We have 3 flaws, blah blah blah, but you hackers can do nothing because we include our patch now in every Windows XP cd."

If only.....

 

Thanks for informing us, Rimfire.

 

you are only safe if you use Windows 3.1 MS-DOS or Windows Vista(Beta) and im not sure about the last one.

but im not worried, its just another virus.

 

Just be always equiped with a good AV, and NORTON IS NOT ONE OF THEM...

 

Why do people say norton isn't good whats so bad about it?

ontopic: uhhmm thanks for imforming us rim

 

its a worm not a virus, read some fine literature sir! lol.... but yeah, the ---- about the chat server with it giving info to the hackers... hmmm oh well, just got the patch!
