BBC NEWS | Technology | Home users suffer web worm woe
BBC NEWS | Technology | Home users suffer web worm woe:
"At its height the virus was taking only 30 seconds to find uninfected computers. "
Just how little sense does that make???
Oh, and don't anthromorphisize machines. They hate it when we do that.
"Unlike many recent viruses the worm travels around by itself "......
What, with a rucksack and a cheque from Daddy? How does a computer virus travel around by itself? Surely it needs a network cable at the very least?
Nice to see the BBC managed to publish an entire article dedicated to the worm without a single link to the MS site where you can download the patch. Well done.
Its *here* by the way....
