Heads UP!! 50,000 PC's destroyed by Witty Worm today!

If you use a firewall from Black Ice or Real Secure then you better disable it. This aint no email virus; it breaks through these firewalls and tricks them into killing your harddrive to the point where the PC has to be rebuilt. i wanted to be sure if it will really work and it can, i didnt test or download, but the concept idea works, the coder had to have worked on this idea for a while.

nah, most likely reversed engineered part of blackice and found an exploit he could use.

lol, virii authors are usually odd people...

I used to know an unfortunatly renounded virii author here in town, worked AL (Artificial Life) programs (self preserving)...I still have source code he gave me that will fry a monitor if run. It's in-didly-sane.

Like the crazy people who ran to the woods and set up bunkers during Y2k, I have my trusty iMac sitting here in case a virus causes the world to end.
