Thanks for the reminder, John - I already installed the latest version of my AVG which is set for daily scans and made sure I had the MS08-067 patch -
I'm set for automatic updates from MS but checked anyway and had a small patch to download -
The Mrs also got an email at work today from their geeks about a "ransom-ware" virus called Vundo that encrypts jpegs, PDF's and Word docs - and then the pranksters sell you a product for $40 to decrypt your files again -
Goddammed kids today... 
So anyway, whaddya think, Cap - is there gonna be a denial-of-service attack for April Fools Day or not.... 
And would shutting off your computer on the 1st be effective - or would the worm just do it's dirty work once you power up again anyway?
Concerned geezers want to know...

Crafty is infected...? 
I hope your Spleen feels better soon ya old Geezer 
in all seriousness... in as much as i don't think script kiddies
should be thrown in jail with VIOLENT criminals......
on the other hand........
I also don't believe the penalties for creating viruses
are strong enough.... and should be totally re written  |

This virus is truly most evil. It recently attacked my PC like a machine gun. Avast AV could not keep up with it. I could not load AV updates or any MS fixes. I was being controlled from a remote host and had my AOL passwords compromised. I had to start fresh with a new computer 
MS has put a $250K bounty out for the originators.
I hope they catch them &  them

Update all your windows machine, if you cannot get to the msupdate site you got it.
My printer had it also, as it was windows based, that was fun.
