aaaa....i read about that about 5 hours ago infact....just today....ofcourse on the news it said something of how it was recking havoc over systems...nation wide......ofcourse this was occuring here in new zealand time on wednesday.... there must b some kind of conspiracy with these viruses.....the theory of how viruses r created so virus eliminators like norton anti virus or bullgaurd can get u to purchase their anti virus softwares.... i mean it is a average of 400 viruses per 1-3 months i believe....with so many anti virus programme providers and stuff....its no wonder.

A day late a dollar short. Old news, I dealt with this all morning yesterday... and these "kids" aren't kids at all. It was to cause a DoS attack on SCO's webservers (SCO is a flavor of UNIX).
