Doesn't sound like any super worm, just the usually windoze sh*t. Overrated PR.
I am so glad Linux powers my box. :)

ummm...not if...like many of us you are charged with...and your job depends on...keeping the "windoze sh*t" from damaging or destroying valuable data...

Ouch,
Sounds like a fun job Zigar, but what can I say. You should get a less demanding job, or just more money for you job. Make it really worth it, you know. But I am glad how I am just low level sysadmin, {not as smart as my fearless leader} who needed help making a dos partition on a new pc today.
So even though I am not the head guy, I am happy where I am, my job has its little perks. Silently laughing at all of them.

hehe awfulk thruth.. businesses around the world rely on windows.. coz its user friendlyness makes them do their work faster.. so basically any worm that affects windows is a big thing for businesses everywhere..

btw, i droped by in a MS branch here in sydney to visit a friend of mine.. and guess what? when i got inside the admin's room, me saw them use a linux box as a web server.. hehehe is that allowed??

but what's really going to annoy me is the way the "almighty tech support man" at my school will be calling it a virus if we're hit... *sigh* why can't people know the difference between a virus and a worm anymore?

hahaha dunno.. media i guess.. though if i say "worm" to the students they would go "ooooooohh!" but if i say "virus" they go.. "aaaahhhh..."

prolly coz some of them dont know what worm is..

As far as I know this is a worm that was first discovered last year so anybody that gets bitten deserves to be cause if their anti-virus ain't up to date something bad is going to happen to them sooner or later and having their harddrive wiped clean might teach them a lesson.

[PhirePhreak]

Hmm... methinks garathjax is behind all this... okay, so maybe not.

Oh, and sonic> nice post :)

I just dream of a day when end users don’t open infected mail, and then have the nerve to tell me it looked suspicious.
