OK, so this much is "known"...

"The worm invasion will feature distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against Microsoft's website and those of anti-virus software vendors or spam prevention websites. This will hinder distribution of removal tools and prevent detection of worm spam." ...

but there is no prevention strategy?

I suspect that this superworm has as much chance as the seagull arriving after the twenty earlybirds.

Good call, MA. This 'supervirus' doesn't have me running scared. I really don't think we should look at it like another Y2K thing, like, WHEN IT HITS WE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!! It's just another virus.

So basically this means...

a)Spyware will be more abundant...
b)Ad-ware will be more abundant...
c)I wont be able to get my newest Virus-Scan update patch...
d)Microsoft admins admins are going to have to put in a few more hours over time...
e)Pop-ups will be more abundant...
f)All of the above?

Besides... if this website knows, its safe to say that the Microsoft IT Department knows too, and are allready backing up there backup servers... Infact... they might be backing up the backup backup backup backup servers too.

Heck... bill gates probably pays the IT department to purposely mess up the network just to see where the packets will go... this is their definition of a good time by the way...

theres only 10 people on this earth... those that understand binary, and those that don't.

There are 2 kinds people in the world: those that can count and those that can't.

No no no, lol. See maybe you didn't understand the joke... its a computer joke.

Theres only 10 people on the earth... Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

You see 10 IS 2 in binary, thats the funny part see... cause most of the times people are like well what about the other 8? or thats 10 not 2 idiot... Then its like "Sorry my friend, but you obviously DO NOT under stand binary"

see

0 = 0
1 = 1
10= 2
11= 3
100=4
101=5
110=6
111=7
etc
etc
etc

Get it, got it, good!

Antivirus researchers late Wednesday discovered what is being described as the first of potentially many "9/11" anniversary viruses spreading on the Internet.

First of many?

This is something that I have seen coming. Of course I really dont think any one is really surprised. I know we have been pulling update after update on our anti virus software at work, (T-Mobile). Plus we have been getting warnings on viruses almost every day. I have voiced my concern on several occasions with the last batch of viruses. No one is still sure what the last ones actually did, and, if they were actually defeated by the various anti-virus programs. When we get hit, its actually not an if, by the various viruses, I just hope the security types are on top of the situation. One thing to consider, I dont think the problem will be related to any terrorist activity, the biggest problems will be the pimply faced Digital Rat code puppy looking for a kick.

Speaking of protection, if you are running Win2000 their is another security update available, it was either posted today or in the last few days.

if that news is a real all of us should take cover before it happen to right now.3 week ago my yahoo email being
pack of blaster virus but i m too lucky non of it run in my pc system

I found this article while surfing around.

This is one of the better links on the Blaster virus and the links at the bottom of the article make for a real good read.

Just in time for the anniversary, we have our weekly Microswiss Update.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. warned computer users Wednesday about a new critical security hole in its Windows operating system that could allow an attacker to gain control over a computer, delete data and install unwanted programs.

The vulnerability is similar to one that Microsoft warned about in July, which experts called one of the worst to hit a software program in years because of the broad number of Windows systems affected.

To make matters worse, SoBigF expires tonight.

Clogged networks, crashing computers, emergency patching, airline delays, cancelled trains... the second half of September could start to resemble August, with experts predicting new strains of the Blaster and SoBig Windows viruses.

...

And virus experts warn that the next version could be released soon. In late August, Central Command Inc, an anti-virus software firm, said that precedent suggests SoBig.G could emerge "shortly after September 10th".
