"EEEEEVIL NEW VIRUS!!!"

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!

You do know there are other forums here... like say PC, web design and whatever which alredy made this topic days ago and if you actually went their you wouldn't have to waste you time making a new topic... but you'd still have to write the post :D

Ok well y'see I had this exact thing yet I only have a 56k connection not broadband and I also have zonealarm in place but I still got it.

I think absolutely anyone is vunerable to this.

Check the PC/Web forum for more info and how to get rid of it.

I have Zone alarm thank God.

Welcome to a few days ago! :) Been around for a few days now, tis a right b*tch still.

Happy Bidet Cooky!

Bah, all it is is some rubbish worm that is intended to annoy Bill Gates. The people who made it are obviously Mac users.

Oh, and happy Birthday by the way.

Been infected?
