STORM2K

...to see what the Sobig.F virus does at 2 PM Central Time.

Good luck, everyone. Keep your computers safe.

So far, our PC is "green, 5 x 5" in the sunny, fun-filled Bootheel.

Any news yet?

Nope...nothing slowing down yet here...now news of anything happening. We'll see in time...just like with the storms -- watching and waiting.

I haven't received anything bad in my home emails (Yahoo and AOL) all week and the worm from last week only affected my work computer since it's Windows XP.

Hey, there... :o I have XP Home, and all of my inboxes are silent..."Im Stiefelnlader nichts neues" (All quiet in the Bootheel). Two inboxes are protected by McAfee, and my PC in general is scanned every day, sometimes several times a day, by our Norton 2002 with LiveUpdate feature.

It was probably just a hoax about it re-activating at 2. I hope so anyway.

It, Nailed me.. Wiped my puter out good.. Nailed key files Reg. explorer etc.... Worked all am to try and repair, but dont have had no sucess.. Just setting up a back up puter we had.. .. Realy ticks me off... All because some wacko has nothing better to do then destroy strangesr puters.. LOSER!!!!

Me? Post a hoax? Nevah!

I'm the hoax-debunker.

Any news NOW?? Sorry to hear about your PC, Chad...hope you get it fixed soon.

Apparently they beat it...got all 20 computers in time. http://www.msnbc.com/news/955498.asp?0cv=CB10

People who didn't even know they were the ones with it or what they're machines were about to do.

Was not implying you were the hoax poster Duck. I was just giving an opinion and praying it was a hoax.

Sorry to hear that Chad. I know exactly what you are going through.

Chad, sorry for what you had to go through today.

I have been having continual problems with websites not responding with Windows 98. I keep thinking I have fixed the problem, but apparently not. I will be going fine and then websites stop responding.

I know. I was just kidding with ya cuz most who know me know I'm the biggest skeptic in the world and I wouldn't ever post or forward a hoax. I know you weren't saying I started it, but even passing one on isn't my style. I try to stop 'em before they go further.

Sorry about that, Linda...I was trying to inject humor into my reply to you. It's hard to do sometimes since there's no way to "hear" the true tone of someone's post.

Glad to know they stopped the virus.

Chad - sorry to hear that your computer was hit by a virus. These people who have nothing better to do than create computer viruses need to spend a lifetime behind bars! With no access to a computer!

Man Chad.....sorry to hear about your computer!!!

That stinks big time!! This scumbag needs to rot in jail. He can "get a life" there.

Sorry to hear about your comp Chad. Hope these jerks get caught ASAP!

I heard something on the Bob and Tom Show this morning that Tom said since the latest viruses affected their PC's as well ... in regards, Tom made a comment that we could stop these hacker attacks if the culprits were subject to an .... *cough* ... public execution ...
