It affects all NT-based systems, which means 2000 and XP also. Anyhow, easy to fix by downloading the patch -- which has been available for over a month -- or just having a decent firewall. Anyway, the 'payload' is delivered on 16th August until the end of the year. Except seeing as how the world has about thirty timezones, that'll be staggered. Anyhow, if you're worried then just go here and follow the relevant instructions. |

my friend got that virus on both his computers. after running the removal tool about 15 times unsuccessfully, he unchecked the startup item for the virus, and it then proceeded to kill itself and didnt show any signs until he got it again from the same guy on his local network who he got it from in the first place. :hmmm:

this laptop I'm using is Windows 2000, funny thing.....the day I saw this post and started reading about the virus, my comp jsut automatically rebooted itself (the microsoft site said this was a sign of the virus), I immediately downloaded a "search and destroy" patch file and ran it. After like 30 minutes of searching, it says my comp is virus free.....PHEW!!!! Hopefully my comp won't get the virus, that would seriously suck majorly!!
:cool:

Defrags are a waste of time, and if you've got a resident sheild thingy, you don't need to do a full virus check, although I do occasionally scan /WINDOWS just to make sure, but that doesn't take long.

Defrags are a waste of time I beg to differ. Keeping your disk defraged SIGNIFICANTLY reduces load times for files and programs. Not something I would do every day or anything, but weekly-monthly depending on how much has changed. If you rarely download or install stuff, then it's not worth it. But I download/install all sorts of things quite regularly. Case in point: The first time I defragged it made as much as 1 minute difference in load time for some progs, and my computer booted significantly quicker as well. |
