There is a killer worm virus that is going to be launched at 12:00 am tonite. It'll be in your email so beware. Remember, use school comps to check Yahoo and google and ect. accounts (because they got the best firewalls) Backup your files and hold onto your seats.

here is what it actually does:

This virus is programmed to destroy everthing that is from MICROSOFT except XBox and XBox360. That means, all WORD, POWERPOINT, EXCEL, etc. I am not sure about the WINDOWS XP, ME, 2000, Operating systems. It erases all ZIP files and replaces them with very large dummy files that can not be erased! STAY OUT OF YOUR E-MAIL FOR A WHILE.

This information was given from SHADOWSTAR123. (not a user on here) (friends with GHOST)

This is the file extension:

BLACKWORM (MyWife.d)

!!! ALL MAC USERS: BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR MICROSOFT PRODUCTS. !!!
!!! LINUX/UNIX USERS, YOU SHOULD BE OK. !!!

How exactly do you know/does your friend know that such a virus is going to be sent to everyone later on tonight? :S Sounds like insider info to me...

Anyone who's anyone should really by now know about getting strange attachments in e-mails, and how you shouldn't open them anyways... right?

most people in this world now. Are smart enough to not open an attachment from someone they dont kno.

He's talking about the Kama Sutra virus going around, its payload is set to go off on the 3rd. It actually has already been infecting people, however its only gonna do damage tommorow. Its been pretty publicized. I'd hardly call this a killer virus.
Darkmatter: You're giving the common user far to much credit.

A killer virus eh? I know someone who can help! *goes to consult Revan*

Or to set up a reverse spike so that any viruses coming your way dont affect you and head straight back to the creator... mwahaha

I've got a friend who's a Grey Hat. He'll probably know how do deal with it.

Wow...is it really that bad?

AH: Pointless, they use spoofed email adresses.
Yami Kami: Theres already removal tools.
Rena: No. You'll only get it if your stupid.
