I was out celebrating a mates 21st. Been to the pub and were on our way back to a mates house. There were police all over the place around where my mate lived. This dodgy road I lived on during my 2nd year at uni. Anyways the police had to interview everyone, getting their names, address, what they looked like etc, and where they were on sommin' like 6th June and 2nd July. Cos some smackhead has been killed and they found him in some forrest.
Aaaaanyways.
I was talking to this copper and he asked what I do. Programming. So he asked if I knew about this new virus that has been on the news. Said nope. He asked if I had broadband and I said yes. He said well it infects computers connected with broadband and don't have a firewall installed. I asked what this virus did. He said it makes a popup appear on your screen counting down to shut down your computer. "Ballz" That WAS on my lasses computer which is connected to the modem.
All the virus seems to do though, other than shutting down your computer occasionally. Is on Sat 16th August (MY BIRTHDAY), it will turn on your computer and send e-mails to Bill Gates at Microsoft. This is with the intention of overloading their servers or somthing.
Anyways, not too sure how bad this is, but you should update your virus definitions and get rid of the pesky thing NOW!
Oh, and download a firewall program free called ZoneAlarm if you don't have a firewall installed on your computer!
Have a nice day!

...the patch is free (you moron :P).
Heh, my matwes managed to get infected 3 times with it, yet he's deleted it each time.
It was probably made by Mr Gates himelf to get more people to buy new software.
Yup yup.

Ich habe ein firewall - it's called trojanshield - hope its good enough to stop that thing, because I have no time for crap like that.
Had a look at my firewall prog's logs - apparently there have been 60 attempts today to break in through port 135 - which, according to its characteristics, is the blaster virus. Hooray for firewalls!
this virus has infected a neighbours computer and a friend at works computer.
if it gets on mine there will be lots of trouble

Yeah I got the virus too, but I've got rid now.
It's some sad Bill Gates-hater with too much free time on their hands.

I have Windows 98 so therefore cannot be infected because it is so old and crap
Actually it sends on more than just the 16th....
It said that the worm wasn't very well written so it wasn't some total hardcore geek.
