WARNING: Killer Virus Launch!

[Serpent7]

Remember, use school comps to check Yahoo and google and ect. accounts (because they got the best firewalls)

Gotta love that.


Erm, you know, AV companies only tell you viruses (or virii, not going into that debate now) get onto your PC by magic to sell their products. The key weakness in any computer is normally the person sat infront of it. :>

Edit:

AH: Pointless, they use spoofed email adresses.

This is why you spike via IP

However, many users of infected machines have cleaned up their act, according to Messagelabs. It estimates the worm is currently live on 20,000 IP addresses, suggesting 20,000 individual home users or organisations worldwide are currently infected by Kama Sutra, a big fall from earlier this week. MessageLabs has seen worm 'clean-up' from approximately 11,000 IP addresses a day.

How can you "clean up your act" the article doesnt seem to link to a cure. Is it just a case of re-formatting time?

It doesnt matter how many firewalls you're behind. It doesnt use an exploit to get into your system. It relys on user stupidty to download and run an attachment.
