It looks like another dud. Over 75% of the infections are in Asia and Europe. Less than 6% of the infections are in N.A. The launch has started in the far east and it has not even caused a ripple.

I'll turn off my work computer tonight. Just in case. Don't expect anything to happen though.

[Richter]

There are very easy things to do like I have.

1. Partition your hard drive to two sections.
1A. Primary Hard Drive 1B. Secondary Hard Drive

On the primary hard drive leave 15GB to 20 GB for your operating system plus all your programs. Then once your set where you want your primary to be, back it up!!
Then on your secondary hard drive, store all your pictures, music, video's and so forth. When a virus hits, it only hits the drive with the operating system. So, really, worse comes to worse, just reformat your drive with your back up copy if you get infected. Or if your not sure if you got it, then just do it anyways on Thursday.

Once again people, if it's real, life goes on like it always does.

I bought a lot of bottled water, matches and canned food just in case.

[Richter]

If you have any of those "canned peaches"... can you save them for me?

[pinhead]

Find a way to get back on here and I'll pm you where to pick them up :D

[pinhead]

Hey, it's 12:08am and I'm still here on my computer.

[Richter]

Me too!! WE ARE GODS!!!

[pinhead]

**opens can of peaches and eats them**

No need for emergency food anymore :D

[Richter]

And as an added bonus... my FTA is still up and running strong! lol. Think it's time to go watch some celebration porn....

Porn and Peaches... what a combo!!

Here is more on the virus:

I think those kind of advanced viruses are no longer made by some kid playing around their parents computer...in a basement, alone.
I think viruses of this magnitude are invented, executed by private firms looking to explore new adventures, new heights....a group of elite mother tuckers who are willing to go at a challenge....yes that makes people life miserable along the way.

My thought is that it is a criminal organization selling the abilities of this P2P network to people that run spambots and engage in identity theft.

[faller]

No its actually Microsoft. You see they create these virisus and than sell us the anti virus soft ware.. Its really quite brilliant.

[Big D]

my computer at home exploded

[HoliTheCat]

My mac is immune to all viruses. This is due to its' silver colour.

Yes. It's proven that silver reflects viruses. Lucky bastard.

[RagingRandy]

It is the precursor to Skynet.

[pinhead]

Doesn't the US have androids and drones now?

[Big D]

and a laser beam that can see in your soul

[faller]

So is the sky falling or not???

[Richter]
