 EDIT// QUOTE Security Watch: New Worm Hits Windows Hole in Record Time Top Botnet Data as reported by the drone armies / botnets research and mitigation mailing list for August 15, 2005 Why do people spread worms and viruses? In order to create 'botnets'. The drone armies / botnets research and mitigation mailing list is a private research list that studies these networks and periodically reports on them. The networks on which they report are the public networks which comprise the Internet. Each network has an ASN (Autonomous System Number), a count of the number of C&C (command and control) systems observed, and the number that remains open and/or unresolved by the network provider. The network providers are listed as "Responsible Party", although they aren't necessarily the only responsible party. Many smaller hosting services and ISPs operate as customers of these networks.

I heard about it yesterday I think... I am not too worried since I have a Mac.. My mom has Windows though.. Think her Norton Antivirus will keep it at bay, or should I tell her to be on the look out?

Well it happened to me before, but it wasn't a bug..
It was because I had too many programs running at one time. |

Yeah, tell your mom to be on the lookout. |

 What a hypocrite. Group: Member Posts: 2,754 Joined: Apr 2005 Member No: 128,150 |
I've gotten that virus plenty of times before, it's not new to me. I've had to ask my uncle to get me new hard drives. I think you'll need to install a firewall, and get spyware/adware blockers. ;3.
